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 using KDE in RHEL7 I found out that I'm pretty unable to configure VPN through the KDE NM tool. The 'Add' button in the kcm is blocked (inactive) even though I have openvpn and vpnc NM plugins installed and I am able to configure VPN using the GNOME configuration tool.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9.0.9-7.el7
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install NetworkManager-openvpn and NetworkManager-vpnc
2. enter the NetworkManager kcm (either from the plasma applet or from systemsettings)
3. switch to the VPN tab
4.
Actual results:
The 'Add...' button is inactive and therefore VPN can't be configured
Expected results:
It's possible to add a VPN
Additional info:
Where did you get NetworkManager-openvpn and NetworkManager-vpnc plugins? As I know they are not available in RHEL and that's why we don't include these plugins also in KDE networkmanagement.

From the QE Dogfooding repo (see the link below). I forgot that VPN NM plugins are not part of the official RHEL7 distribution.
