Description David Strauss 2013-07-10 17:35:58 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
 1. Add new vpnc connection with saved user and group passwords.
 2. Connect.
 3. Edit the connection and "apply" the changes, even a change that you revert before clicking "apply."
 4. Try to connect, and get a password prompt for both passwords.

Would you provide more information?
1) What distro and desktop environment do you use?
2) What NM version do you use?
3) Do you use nm-connection-editor for editing the connection?

Installed Packages

I use whatever opens when I click on the network menu and select "Network Settings."

This happens to me too when setting up a vpnc connection, but only if I edit the VPN connection via the NetworkManager applet. If I edit it via the Network Connections dialog (nm-connection-editor), it saves fine. I found that idea at  http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=86924

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).
