Unable to create VPN connection with nm-applet
Last modified: 2010-06-03 04:06:17 EDT
I am unable to connect to my work VPN, with Fedora 13 updated, with nm-applet. The version is 0.7.997-1. With the same configuration, I was able with Fedora 12. A significant difference in my both systems is that now I have SELinux enabled. After reading [1], I have run as root '/usr/libexec/nm-openvpn-service' and then I can connect. Perhaps is it a problem of permissions? What kind of info can I add? [1] http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Debugging
I have just updated to testing, with some packages related to SELinux and a a new version 0.8 for NetworkManager-openvpn, but it still doesn't work. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
I have set SELinux to "Permissive" and it works now. SELinux shows me a warning that I attach. It is similar to bug #564167, but in this case SELinux prevents access to the .CER certificate. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Created attachment 418964 [details] The warning from SELinux on connecting
I am moving this to selinux-policy. It this is wrong, tell me please. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
I am closing it because this bug was my fault. My home partition came from a system without SELinux. Running "restorecon -r /home" has done the trick. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
