Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2015-06-16 13:09:16 UTC 
See discussion on bug 751040.

Basically, NMClient now initializes NSS as part of nm_client_new_async().  It does this using the non-library-friendly NSS_NoDB_Init call.  This breaks the smartcard plugin in gnome-settings-daemon because the sharing plugin calls nm_client_new_async() before the smartcard plugin can initialize NSS.  the smartcard plugin needs the secmod database, so NSS_NoDB_Init breaks the smartcard plugin.

NMClient should use NSS_InitContext() instead of NSS_NoDB_Init() since the latter isn't a noop when called more than once, and it's designed to be used from within libraries.

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).
