Description Bhaskar S. Manda 2014-12-29 02:58:30 UTC
Description of problem:
1. After selecting an Openconnect/Anyconnect network, the dialog (VPN secrets) that pops up doesn't start connecting automatically, even after selecting "Automatically connect..." box is checked the previous time.

2. The dialog has an icon to the right of the VPN host box which is to be clicked to start the process of connecting, So the purpose of the OK button at the bottom of the dialog is not clear/known. 

The kde-plasma-nm in general has a worse interface and is missing funtionality compared to plasma-widget-networkmanagement which it replaced. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.3.5-4fc21

How reproducible:
Click on an Openconnect connection.

Steps to Reproduce:
Click on an Openconnect connection.


Actual results:
Cannot connect successfully, and user is confused.

Expected results:
Understandable dialog.

In description, I meant kde-plasma-networkmanagement (and not plasma-widget-networkmanagement, which is the Debian equivalent).
