nmcli doesn't support asking for VPN secrets yet (only for Wi-Fi, ethernet, PPPoE, mobile broadband and Bluetooth). So at present, you have to have some other secret agent running, such as nm-applet or gnome-shell. (Anyway, you would need '--ask' so that nmcli can ask interactively). > nmcli doesn't support asking for VPN secrets yet
Is there a plan for when this functionality will be added?
In the OpenConnect case, 'asking for VPN secrets' actually involves talking to the VPN server and interacting with the user, and then the 'VPN secrets' include the HTTP cookie you get when you've successfully authenticated. So a full implementation of this would involve linking nmcli against libopenconnect.so so that it can do all that. Alternatively, perhaps what we want is just a simple secret-agent which can provide the final results on demand, then exit. You'd end up connecting from the command line with something like: #!/bin/sh UUID="$0" SERVER=$(get gateway field for connection $UUID and check it's openconnect) eval `openconnect --authenticate $SERVER` # sets HOST,CERT,COOKIE vars trick-secret-agent "$UUID" "$HOST" "$CERT" "$COOKIE" & nm-cli connect "$UUID" This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 975185 *** |
