Description Alex Williamson 2011-06-06 17:55:06 UTC

Description of problem:
On a newly installed F15 system, connecting to the RH openvpn, network manager stores and remembers my openvpn password even though I don't check either of the boxes in the dialog when I enter it.  Since the password changes based on an rsa key, this means I have to enter the setup, and delete the saved password any time I want to connected.  This doesn't seem to happen on a system upgraded from F14 where the no password save worked correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-openvpn-0.8.999-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
on system newly installed w/ f15 100%, on upgraded system 0%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install fresh f15 system
2. setup openvpn
3. connect, look for saved password
  
Actual results:
password is saved even though asked not to

Expected results:
password is not saved when asked not to

Same issue here even with latest NetworkManager

NetworkManager-openvpn-0.8.999-1.fc15.x86_64

Comment 2 Eric Work 2011-06-29 03:46:21 UTC

I'm observing the same behavior.  Very annoying!

Comment 3 J.H.M. Dassen (Ray) 2011-07-20 18:55:33 UTC

I suspect this is a duplicate of bug #719316 for which a fix is forthcoming.

Comment 4 Dave Maley 2011-08-01 19:01:24 UTC

I can confirm that NM-0.8.9997-6.git20110721.fc15 + NM-openvpn-0.8.9997-2.git20110721.fc15 has resolved this for me.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:00:58 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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 to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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:
