I have filed my separate bug 511026

With NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.1-1.git20090714.fc11.x86_64 I'm getting the same  error as Matej in comment #1.

The plugin still does not ask for the password every time which it should because I did not checked that it should save it.

It's kind of weird, I have set up HMAC hard to SHA-1 and then it worked. Then I have switched back to default and it still works. ;-)

Sometimes you have to restart NetworkManager service between two attempts of login (especially if you used vpnc plugin in between).

The password bug should be fixed already in NM in both rawhide and:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F11/FEDORA-2009-10696

Please test that build.  Thanks!

NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.996-4.git20090923.fc12.x86_64
same problem, F12. Comment #4 works for me.

I have the same experience as Comment #6 (f12, same version, same problem, same fix)

Same version, error, and fix as Comment #6.

For anyone else with this issue, you change the setting on the profile that was imported/created, under Advanced > Security > HMAC.

I too am able to revert it back to "Default" and it works.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

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 prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

I have this issue when I'm trying to connect to a VPN (vpntunnel.se). I have not modified the VPN config. This doesn't works since 2 or 3 weeks only.
