Bug 582933

"Always ask" doesn't work, this is known, Dennis Gilmore has been complaining about that for a while. (The VPN he uses also uses such an RSA token set up.)

CCing Dennis because he's encountered this one as well.

I worked around it by manually setting the password. I need to update it each time i connect to the vpn

I did not try that workaround, because waiting for rsa to show new password (so I have whole minute before it expires), change stored password for vpnc and than try to connect... it seems just crazy :)

Anyway, I don't know the answer because I did not use vpnc with knetworkmanager, but does it support the same option as gnome networkmanger:
"ipv4 : routes: [ ] Use this connection only for resources on its network" ? I can't see this setting in knetworkmanager's config options. I care about this option because I usually listen internet radio whole time and routing that CZ->USA->CZ is (at least) wasting of resources.

Is knetworkmanger going to be default for F-13 in KDE?

There is a drop down list with basic settings, Additional addresses, and routes, The new Red Hat setup doesnt allow you to use the vpn as your default route. usually if i have 2 bars on my rsa token i have plenty of time to change the password and connect to the vpn.

I also have an RSA token and I'm experiencing this problem.  My workaround until this is resolved is to just use nm-applet like Fedora 12 and earlier, but this requires modifying the nm-applet.desktop file.

1. sudo yum erase 'knetworkmanager*'
2. sed '/NotShowIn=KDE/d' /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop \
      > ~/.config/autostart/nm-applet.desktop
3. Logout and login

huh? it's already here, since this bug was reported, see "external bugs"

cool, thanks for the clarification.   Let's mark this triaged then.

got some builds with an experimental upstream patch to help address this.  Anyone interested in testing it out?

I've tested it using vnc. I set vpnc group password (stored) and user password as always ask. It asked me for password (group password filled and input gray-disabled), so it seems it's working. But because I have my rsa token at home, I was not able to enter correct password, so I just entered 1234 as password, clicked ok and nothing has happened, no error message I'd expect. I don't know what's actual behaviour for plasma knetnowrkmanager, because I've replaced it with nm-applet a long time ago because of this bug. I'll retest with correct password and old version when I get back home to rsa token.

new and old version has the same behaviour for connected (vpn in left down says connected) and failed to connect (no error message, just connecting replaced with not connected).

Old version does not ask for password just tries to connect without second passphrase. New version asks for password. So yes, new version fixes this bug
