Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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 Lubomir Rintel 2016-03-21 12:12:59 UTC
If you set a password "Store the password for all users" (or only for this user), it won't be loaded at subsequent connection edit and will be lost when you save the connection.

There's an upstream commit that needs to be backported:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-control-center/commit/?id=62683047c5cd804c2b275501a65f80181a3883c5

Comment 2 Lubomir Rintel 2016-03-21 15:23:08 UTC
By the way the network panel doesn't seem to be in a very good shape in RHEL-7. E.g. it spews a lots of criticals when being closed and more.

Rui Mantos fixed that all upstream; ideally the following commits should be picked too (perhaps the summary of this bug report can be made general enough to cover that...):

2e7b23a network: Fix a crash when clicking to forget a VPN on the editor
d57be89 network: Avoid warnings while closing connection editor
2e6149b network: Don't try to get secrets for new connections
