SUMMARY
This bug doesn't allow me to use linux in my company.
In my company each person who can use network has his own personal credentials username and password.
If I try to set an automatic connection with networkmanager that ask username and password at login it result impossible.
Is it possible to set a connection with a username and set the connection to "ask for this password every time" but not "ask for this useername every time".
There should be possible to do this becouse in my usercase it is mandatory to connect to network with own username and password.
The laptops are for general use dedicated to some instruments and have many users that use a standard login with common password and to connect to network they use theyr own credentials username and password


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  open network connection>MY_wireless>general configuration tab, connect automatically with priority is checked, >WIFi security tab, password is empty, ask for this password every time is checked, remove username, click OK
2. reopen network connection>MY_wireless>g>WIFi security tab, password is empty, ask for this password every time is checked, username il always there
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
at login a popup ask only for password

EXPECTED RESULT
at login a popup ask for username and password
there should be a similar setting as for the password "ask for this password every time" also for the username "ask for this useername every time"

Just to make really sure I understand this correctly.

You have a setup where everyone logs into the laptop with the same credentials then logs onto the wifi with unique credentials.

What type of wireless security do you use? Is that for WPA/WPA2 enterprise?

Yes, same login credentials for everybody and unique wifi credentials, the laptops are dedicated to some instrument and many persons have access at the laptops, the person who access has to insert his own username and password to access the network.

This can be in theory implemented, but because NetworkManager doesn't support anything like that, we would be implementing this feature ourself, which frankly is really specific use-case and it's unlikely going to be implemented anytime soon.

It's not so rare usercase to ask network username and password, in all the university and laboratories in europe I visited I used my eduroam username and password to access the network.
You say "NetworkManager doesn't support anything like that" do you think I have to ask to the guys that develop NetworkManager?? or are you that develope NetworkManager?
Ciao Pier :-)

Upstream NetworkManager: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/issues

You can ask there.
