Bug 532386 – kde-misc/plasma-nm-0.9.3.5 fails to connect to corporate openconnect VPN endpoint

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Zoltan Puskas 2014-12-12 20:43:06 UTC]

When connecting to Openconnect VPN plasma-nm:

- does not ask for the private key password that is required to connect to the gateway. This can be worked around by looking at /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<connection_name> file for the uuid and then adding the password for the key to kwallet by searching the uuid and editing the VPNSecrets key.

- does not ask for authentication password if key pass is provided thorugh above means. (After logging in into the gateway the VPN server will also ask for an authentication password). 

In fact there is no way to provide any passwords on the UI. Modifying the config in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ does not help as it is overwritten by the applet.

The same connection works perfectly with kde-misc/networkmanagement (with pre 7.01 openconnect version that is, see #532382).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add openconnect VPN connection
2. Connect
3. Wait indefinetly for nothing to happen, as there is no way to input any passwords (not for key, nor for authentication).
Actual Results:  
Connection waits forever for authentication to happen.


Expected Results:  
Successfull connection to VPN server after providing both secrets.

Error message in /var/log/messages:
[vpn-manager/nm-vpn-connection.c:1721] plugin_need_secrets_cb(): (<uuid>/<connection_name>) final secrets request failed to provide sufficient secrets
[vpn-manager/nm-vpn-connection.c:1778] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #3: (7) User canceled the secrets request.

Could you please try with 0.9.3.6?
