http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1106705 Bug ID: 1106705 Summary: NetworkManager requires CA private key for OpenVPN connection via password authentication Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: sweiberg@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Newer versions of the NetworkManager require the CA private key to connect to the OpenVPN network. Without CA private key the settings can't be saved. I am pretty sure that most OpenVPN providers don't share their private key for their CA and this basically blocks setting up an OpenVPN connection. The same bug was reported for Arch Linux a few weeks ago: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59677 Their solution was to downgrade the nm-connection-editor to an earlier version that didn't require the CA private key.
