Bring back separate password memory options for VPNC connect dialog
Last modified: 2008-11-01 03:09:57 UTC
In a former version (6?) when connecting a Cisco VPN via nm-applet stored settings, there was a dialog box that allowed the user to check whether to remember each password (user and group). Often, the user passwords change every session due to RSA or other token authentication, but the group password always remains the same. As a user who logs in to several Cisco VPN sessions for work that use RSA authentication, it would be really cool to get that back! Other information: Once submitted, I'll see if I can add a screenshot comparison if this tool lets me add attachments.
Created attachment 121753 [details] Comparison of 0.7.0 to 0.6.6 In this comparison, the 0.7.0 connect dialog is on the left, 0.6.6 is on the right. The very bottom checkbox on the right-hand (0.6.6) dialog is what would be great to have back, the option to remember just the group password.
NetworkManager never had this patch. Various distros carried a patch for a while (including Fedora) but it was a hack. It'll get solved in a more elegant manner in the near future. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 558331 ***
