[Bug 360818] Re: NetworkManager.vpn fails -- nm-vpn-connection.c.900: NeedSecrets

Thu Nov 12 18:03:32 UTC 2009

I've just done a fresh install with network-manager-openvpn on a laptop.
Adding my keys to create  a new connection fails with the Need Secrets message immediately after installation.

I can confirm a succesful connection after a reboot without applying the dbus patch I used on  my other machines. I will post back if it fails for me at some point, but the most consistent element in the behaviour experienced by most of us is that a new nm openvpn configration does not work until after a reboot. 
At this point the gnome  keyring tool opens and asks to give access to the application.
I chose to allow it to remain authorised for future connections.

As I've now seen it work both with and without the dbus patch,
I must conclude that the dbus fix was coincidental with my reboot and of no inherent merit.
