Description Aleksander Morgado 2013-04-05 08:48:16 UTC
Using a connection profile with an EMPTY username but non-empty password (see e.g. settings for APN "internet.t-d1.de" in "T-Mobile(Telekom)" provider in Germany), NM ends up passing the password string *only* once after having created/modified the connection settings.

So, for the first time we get in MM:

  simple_connect(): (wwan0): number => "*99#"
  simple_connect(): (wwan0): apn => "internet.t-d1.de"
  simple_connect(): (wwan0): network_mode => 0
  simple_connect(): (wwan0): password => "t-d1"
  simple_connect(): (wwan0): allowed_mode => 0

While for the next times we get:

  simple_connect(): (wwan0): number => "*99#"
  simple_connect(): (wwan0): apn => "internet.t-d1.de"
  simple_connect(): (wwan0): network_mode => 0
  simple_connect(): (wwan0): allowed_mode => 0

NM bugzilla reorganization... sorry for the bug spam.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. 
We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
