Description madcatx 2019-10-29 09:20:02 UTC
I was having some issues with my VPN (Cisco vpnc) connection so I ended up deleting it in SystemSettings and recreating it again with proper settings. Ever since then the group password and user password are not stored in KWallet and NM prompts me to enter them every time I want to connect. There is no entry for the created VPN connection in KWallet. After a few updates and attempts to delete the connection and create it again the problem remains. Other VPN connection settings are stored just fine and so are passwords for WiFi networks etc.

What can I do to trace the cause of the problem?

I think there was a bug in NetworkManager causing this, see [1]. What is your NetworkManager version?

This looks likely, my NM is 1.20.4. It looks like the fix didn't make it into 1.20.4.

Confirmed, application of

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/43b7e669482822edec3dbf1d410825eb4ce02abe

to NM fixes the issue.
