Description Joachim Frieben 2018-09-07 08:40:59 UTC

Description of problem:
For current Fedora 29, the OpenVPN setup dialog provided by NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome asks the user for a CA private key which, in my case, is not provided by the OpenVPN service provider.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.4-2.fc29

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run gnome-control-center and add OpenVPN network connection.

Actual results:
Configuration dialog asks both for CA certificate and CA private key.

Expected results:
Configuration dialog asks for the CA certificate alone.

Additional info:
For the current release Fedora 28, no additional CA private key is required.

libnma bug fixed upstream:

Comment 3 Thomas Haller 2018-09-07 14:08:13 UTC

Hm, seems network-manager-applet-1.8.18-1.fc29 won't fix the issue.

that's because of a misunderstanding from my side about https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/network-manager-applet/issues/20

libnma changed behaviour regarding no-show-all.

that broke nm-c-e. So, nm-c-e was fixed to get the necessary adjustment.

But gnome-control-center has the same issue. Now, we could and should adjust gnome-control-center. Because using show-all is wrong.

But libnma breaking gnome-control-center should be avoided as much as possible. I think the patch in libnma should be reverted (at least for now).

Comment 4 Joachim Frieben 2018-09-07 15:01:29 UTC

If there is a bug in libnma which breaks both nm-connection-editor and gnome-control-center, then it seems natural to me to fix libnma and not the applications which are using it.

The original bug can be worked around by simply importing some empty file, e.g. called "ca.key" in order to (formally) satisfy the erroneous requirement for a CA private key. The save button is then no longer disabled.
