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 of problem:
PIN/Password dialogue for Mobile Broadband forces user to enter password, even if it's not needed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
network-manager-applet-0.9.7.0-6.git20121211.el7.x86_64
nm-connection-editor-0.9.7.0-6.git20121211.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug 3G dongle.
2. Wait for Mobile Broadband interface in network applet.
3. Try connect using Mobile Broadband.
4. Insert PIN only.
  
Actual results:
Dialogue asking for PIN/Password pops-up. User can't confirm dialogue, until he input both PIN and Password. In reality some mobile operators doesn't require password to connect to their network. Workaround is to input some random password, at least with one particular operator.

Expected results:
Dialogue should not force user to input something that is not needed and user don't even know what type in. Dialogue should let user confirm even with empty fields.

Additional info:
Need to test this behaviour also with PIN disabled.
