plasma-nm vpn connect

Related to 332058 

When using the plasma-nm applet to connect to a VPN via openconnect (or right-clicking the VPN connection and clicking connect via the editor), the VPN connection always asks for a password, even when stating that the password shall be saved. Additionally, does "Connect automatically" mean that the connection is started after booting and logging into the system or when clicking the connect button (automatizing the whole connection process)?

See the screenshot

Thank you in advance!

I confirm this bug.

Is this dialog part of plasma-nm? Or part of openconnect?

If it is part of plasma-nm, why is it shown in the first place? For me only a dialog asking for user/password should be shown.


Usability issues:
- There is a drop down where there is a single choice
- User/password fields are not shown until the user click the connect icon
- The purpose of the connect icon is only showing the user/password. The actual connect button is called login

Same here:
- "Store passwords" is checked
- password is missing, though, and needs to be inserted every time

What's weird - it worked until IT Dep decided to reset all passwords and gave out new ones. After that the password isn't stored anymore.

Same issue on Fedora-30 KDE-5.15.14 (not on Gnome)

I tried with nm-connection-editor and plasma configuration panel (with root and without).

I also point out that I do not have kwallet installed ( I haven't tried it yet with ).

It works if you store the key for all users (no encrypted).

I currently see the same issue with plasma-nm 5.16.5 on Arch Linux. It was working for me on previous versions, though, so I am unsure if this is anything close to the original issue, which is 2 years old but still not resolved.
