[Bug 475694] [NEW] OpenVPN thru network manager fails for non-password configurations

[mescator]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn

After upgrade to 9.10 my machine failed to connect to previously working OpenVPN config.
The connection ends prematurely with following log:

Nov  5 19:28:12 NetworkManager: <info>  Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn'...
Nov  5 19:28:12 NetworkManager: <info>  VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn' started (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn), PID 3877
Nov  5 19:28:12 NetworkManager: <info>  VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn' just appeared, activating connections

Nov  5 19:28:12 NetworkManager: <WARN>  nm_vpn_connection_connect_cb(): VPN connection 'VPN connection 1' failed to connect: 'No VPN secrets!'.
Nov  5 19:28:12 NetworkManager: <WARN>  connection_state_changed(): Could not process the request because no VPN connection was active.
Nov  5 19:28:12 NetworkManager: <info>  (eth0): writing resolv.conf to /sbin/resolvconf
Nov  5 19:28:12 NetworkManager: <info>  Policy set 'Auto eth0' (eth0) as default for routing and DNS.
Nov  5 19:28:25 NetworkManager: <debug> [1257445705.001560] ensure_killed(): waiting for vpn service pid 3877 to exit
Nov  5 19:28:25 NetworkManager: <debug> [1257445705.001786] ensure_killed(): vpn service pid 3877 cleaned up 

I noticed the "No VPN secrets" and googled around finding that the cause of it can be secrets ring thing.
So, I took my private key and encrypted it to make network manager rise query for password. It did and since that point I am able to use the connection.
