To start a VPN connection, the user needs access to the VPN.Plugin interface on NM. The following section needs to be added: <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.VPN.Plugin"/> I added it to at_console, and it worked for me.
Can you provide more details ? i have the same problem, but i dont really understand what needs to be done.I need to add this line to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-openvpn-service.conf ? somewhere else ? where in the file ? There is no "at_console" for me in this file. (Using net-misc/networkmanager-openvpn-0.7.2)
No, it's /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf There should be a section like this: <policy at_console="true"> that contains: <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.VPN.Connection"/> Add a section exactly like that, but with Connection changed to Plugin
I just mentioned this on IRC - dang, feel free to fix this, I'm not near a CVS checkout and I won't have free time after work to look at this until tomorrow.
Fixed in 0.8-r1.
So, after some upgrade the vpn options are "grey" again and when I select edit for an old one it says I don't have the proper plugins installed.
