GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 797392
Saving new password for VPN (IPSec) fails silently
Last modified: 2020-11-12 14:31:16 UTC
Ubuntu: 18.04 Involved packages (non-exhaustive list): network-manager, vpnc Steps to reproduce: 1) Open "Network Connections" dialog 2) Add a non-existing entry for a working IPSec VPN connection, fill all required fields but enter a wrong password 3) Save the entry 4) Edit entry again, put in the correct password, make sure to fill all required fields 5) Save the entry 6) Open Edit view of the entry again to verify that the password has not been changed with last save action. Expected behavior: Either password should be stored when modified and saved -OR- user should be notified that password could not be saved for whatever reason. Work-around: Delete whole VPN entry and create a new one with the correct password entered from the beginning.
