Description of problem: After upgrade to F29 I can no longer establish VPN connection using passwd-file, because the format has changed from 'vpn.secrets.password:' to 'vpn.secret.password:'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-1.12.2-2.fc29.x86_64 NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.4-2.fc29.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup OpenVPN connection with connection-type = password, password-flags = 2 2. nmcli con up id "OpenVPN" passwd-file /path/to/pwdfile Actual results: $ nmcli con up id "OpenVPN" passwd-file /path/to/pwdfile A password is required to connect to 'OpenVPN'. Warning: password for 'vpn.secret.password' not given in 'passwd-file' and nmcli cannot ask without '--ask' option. Error: Connection activation failed: No valid secrets $ nmcli con show "OpenVPN" | grep vpn.secret vpn.secrets: <hidden> $ cat /path/to/pwdfile vpn.secrets.password:hunter2 Expected results: VPN connection should be established successfully. Additional info: If I change the contents of pwdfile to be vpn.secret.password:hunter2 it works. But this is a regression from the previous version and it breaks backward compatibility.
