Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

When you edit the wifi-security tab in nm-connection-editor, the username/password field is not set.


How reproducible:

Create a wifi connection, for example of type Tunneled TLS.
When you try to edit that connection again in nm-connection-editor, the username/password field is always empty.



Additional info:

This bug was introduced in upstream commit https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/commit/?id=c9476e9c07839e71aed49e820e364ad0b9f47039 and is in file src/wireless-security/eap-method-simple.c

Note that when editing an existing connection, the input fields will be initialized in eap_method_simple_new. But then they are unset again in widgets_realized because "method->ws_parent->username" et al. is not set to the values from the edited connection.

Patch ready for review:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/log/?h=thaller/rh1000564_wifi_security_userpass

The relevant fix is the first commit. The second commit is another unrelated feature asking for review as well :)

Branch looks good, please merge, thanks!

fix merged to upstream master:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/commit/?id=3cae06120a4dd9bebd5f2e57e181ea95e87c8ac4

Moving back to MODIFIED so we can attach this to a network-manager-applet errata instead of NM.

Verified on nm-connection-editor-0.9.9.0-12.git20131212.el7.x86_64
