[Bug 2020893] [NEW] Changing path for the certificates and keys doesn't work

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a private bug by mastier1 (mastier1):

If you modify existing OpenVPN connection NetworkManager does not
reflect them without restart

I changed path for files (other directory), yet it still tries to load
the old path

mastier at drakkar:~$ nmcli con up 'Canonical UK'
Error: Connection activation failed: Unknown reason
Hint: use 'journalctl -xe NM_CONNECTION=9328632c-dcb0-4414-8609-20285bf0acb8 + NM_DEVICE=eno1' to get more details.
