GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 666932
support "Vendor" option in nm-connection-editor
Last modified: 2012-02-28 10:12:12 UTC
Having workaround: Do it by hands puting this (e.g.): Vendor=netscreen to the [vpn] section in the connection file at /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
also need to add this: Perfect Forward Secrecy dh2
Created attachment 208471 [details] [review] [PATCH] Add 'Vendor' and 'Perfect Forward Secrecy' into GUI
Created attachment 208472 [details] screenshot with added options The two options added as combo boxes into 'Advanced Options' dialog.
I'd suggest changing the "No PFS" text in the combo to "None" instead. Originally I'd wanted to do this on a higher level and have plugins be able to export multiple "personalities" so that, for example, when you click "New..." in the VPN page of the editor and it asks you what type of VPN you want to create, my though had been to allow VPN plugins to provide multiple items in that combo box. Thus the vpnc plugin would provide "Cisco-compatible IPSec" and "Juniper/Netscreen-compatible IPSec" or whatever, and that would somehow get passed to the plugin. But that's something that we'd either have to hack into the current API in a somewhat ugly way, or rework the API. So I think what you've got here is good to commit, thanks!
Ok, "No PFS" changed to "None" and committed: 14733a43a15bba3861f585872986cff4c5136bee
