Description Andrey Borzenkov 2010-02-17 19:49:01 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

My VPNC gateway is using one time password so I cannot store user password permanently in connection settings and have to enter it every time. I created VPNC connection using knetworkmanager but it never asks for password; of course connection attempt always fails.

I can see the same problem in kde 4.4.2 using knetworkmanager-0.9-0.17.20100310.fc13.x86_64

After I set up vpnc and click on it in the knetworkmanager menu nothing happens. Nothing at all, not even asked for password. I left user passphrase "always ask" because our vpn uses rsa token generated passwords changing every minute, so it's not possible to store that password

we've 2 independent confirmations @ redhat

Suggested patch in bug 244416.

The reason it happens - VPN layer in knetworkmanager always saves secrets in kwallet; for secret with ALWAYS_ASK property it saves empty value. On connection it checks only whether *anything* was saved in kwallet, not whether individual secrets do have values.
