https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331864 Summary: knetworkmanager does not prompt for vpn private key passphrase Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: kerekfyp@komal.hu QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I have an openvpn connection which used to work flawlessly in 10.2. The openvpn server requires x509 authentication hence I have the following three files: CA, CERT and privete key. The private key is encrypted. In 10.2 knetworkmanager used to ask for the passphrase to decrypt the private key before connecting to the vpn, but in 10.3 no such dialog appears and after a while knetworkmanager reports a failure. syslog says: nm-openvpn[21304]: OpenVPN 2.0.9 i586-suse-linux [SSL] [LZO] [EPOLL] built on Sep 22 2007 nm-openvpn[21241]: ERROR: could not read Private Key user name/password from management interface nm-openvpn[21304]: Exiting I am pretty sure that it is caused by the encrypted private key because it works fine with an unencrypted key. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Since unencrypted key files are a highly severe security risk, we cannot deploy our road-warrior laptops with Suse due to this problem. (BTW, Ubuntu's network-manager-kde works without problem. I tried the same encrypted key and certificates just a few minutes ago.) It would be very nice if you could increase the priority of this bug report, and provide a patch for OpenSuse11 and SLES. Please mail if I can help in verification.

You're talking about SLED10? NetworkManager in OS 11.0 and SLED10 is completely different. A fix for 11.0 would not help to fix SLED10 and the other way round. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I get a working NetworkManager setup in Ubuntu (Gnome) using network-manager 0.6.6-0ubuntu5 network-manager-gnome 0.6.6-0ubuntu3 network-manager-openvpn 0.3.2svn2342-1ubuntu4 (These are the most recent packages for Ubuntu 8.04. The upstream sources plus Ubuntu's patches can be found in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main .) Next step was to add KDE to the Ubuntu host, and to enter a KDE session: There was no passphrase dialog, as for Suse, but just a progress bar stuck at 80%, and then an error popup saying "VPN Connect Failure". The package in this case was network-manager-kde 1:0.2.2-1ubuntu2 If I try NetworkManager on Suse's Gnome, then the VPN connection I had configured in KDE is not available. I have to click on NetworkManager -> VPN Connections --> Configure VPN... The VPN Connections window comes up (without any entries), and on top of it I get an error popup saying Cannot add VPN connection No suitable VPN software was found on your system. Contact your system administrator. If I click on [Close], then both windows are gone. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Sure. But according to the new bugzilla policy this is no blocker. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
