Description Herbert Graeber 2009-11-09 22:28:15 UTC 
Version:           0.9.svn1043876 (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

knetworkmanager for kde4 fail when trying to connect to openvpn iwth x509 certificate and key, but without username and password. /var/log/NetworkManager contains the message

    VPN connection '...' (openvpn) filed to connect: 'No VPN secrets!'"

Connecting with username and password instead and leaving both input fields empty works.

Does this configuration work in GNOME, with nm-applet?
Comment 2 Will Stephenson 2009-11-17 15:03:35 UTC 
Just received a patch for this.

SVN commit 1050511 by wstephens:

Keep NetworkManager happy when using X509 with no password/username;
send a placeholder.  This happens in a different place in the code to in
GNOME, which does not store this in the settings but inserts it into the
openvpn settings stream on connect.

Patch by Vladimir Prus  <ghost@cs.msu.su>, received with thanks.
