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 Thomas Haller 2018-03-08 10:44:31 UTC
Backport of upstream fix https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=d2f019409d0906814ccd2050ce39609903f879f7

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794014


The condition when we would block autoconnect due to no-secrets was inverted. So, we would only block auto-connect, if a new agent registered (since the last secret request). That is an unlikely situation, so commonly we would not block autoconnect although we should, and in the unlikely situation (where a secret-agent registered in the meantime), we would wrongly block autoconnect.

Maybe the situation is not that unlikely after all, because we now do WPS by default, which extends the secret request for an unusually long time -- giving more chance for a secret agent to register while we are requesting the secret.
