Description of problem:
After upgrade to F29 I can no longer establish VPN connection using passwd-file, because the format has changed from 'vpn.secrets.password:' to 'vpn.secret.password:'.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-1.12.2-2.fc29.x86_64
NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.4-2.fc29.x86_64
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup OpenVPN connection with connection-type = password, password-flags = 2
2. nmcli con up id "OpenVPN" passwd-file /path/to/pwdfile
Actual results:
$ nmcli con up id "OpenVPN" passwd-file /path/to/pwdfile
A password is required to connect to 'OpenVPN'.
Warning: password for 'vpn.secret.password' not given in 'passwd-file' and nmcli cannot ask without '--ask' option.
Error: Connection activation failed: No valid secrets
$ nmcli con show "OpenVPN" | grep vpn.secret
vpn.secrets: <hidden>
$ cat /path/to/pwdfile
vpn.secrets.password:hunter2
Expected results:
VPN connection should be established successfully.
Additional info:
If I change the contents of pwdfile to be
vpn.secret.password:hunter2
it works. But this is a regression from the previous version and it breaks backward compatibility.
