Description Edward Haas 2017-02-12 04:47:25 EST 
Description of problem:
Programs that use NM can benefit from marking a connection profile with a label/tag.
One simple usage is to mark a connection as "owned" by the program the uses NM, allowing such a program to differentiate between connections it manages and others which it does not.

Such a label can be generalized to user-data field/s, allowing the user/program add limited information for its own use (ignored by NM).

please review: th/user-data-v2-bgo776276

nmcli support is still missing.

nm-1-8: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=fd6f4b0ef8bec0569d2227f67d77a161ca916858



now, the only thing missing is nmcli support.

That will not make it to rhel-7.4 and is left for later.


I am moving this bug to MODIFIED, as the core parts will be in rhel-7.4:

 - libnm support
 - support from the daemon, including keyfile and ifcfg-rh settings plugin to
   persist the user-data.



As nmcli support is not yet implemented, you might want to use the example script https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/examples/python/gi/setting-user-data.py?id=0b6490f3d88c58597f288b63ed7e6d51ca21f2bf
