[Bug 351390] Re: Open VPN configuration in plasma-widget-network-manager not working

[Peter]

I can confirm this (running 9.04 beta in virtualbox)
In fact it is a bit worse than mentioned.  Before I installed openvpn and the plugin networkmanager showed up the vpn tab and let me fill in the details (albeit with the issues already mentioned) The connection I entered did not appear on the list of available vpn connections and I was given no hint that I did not have openvpn installed.  I only discovered this when I tried connecting from the command line!
Once I installed openvpn and the plugin I saw the same odd behaviour as regards entering the key and certificates.  I could also not enter a cipher type or enter anything in the tls auth section (not that it gives any clue at all what I should enter here)
The saved connection does not appear anywhere on the networkmanager so I can't try connecting with it.
the configuration page won't use the .ovpn file I can use with openvpn command line and there is no hint on the page of how to extract the settings from it. How would any normal person know how to get keys and certificates from the .p12 file? I did not! If openvpn can use this file, why not NM?
for a GUI 'it just works' set up this is rather off putting especially as it does not work at all.
