Description Jan Ritzerfeld 2010-09-09 19:15:23 UTC

User-Agent:       Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; de) Presto/2.6.30 Version/10.61

I'm trying to connect to a VPN using KNetworkManager of 11.3. My private key 
is protected by a password. KNetworkManager never asks for the password 
and the connection is thus never established. The important messages of 
the log seem to be:
Sep  6 22:29:01 karl nm-openvpn[17858]: OpenVPN 2.1.1 x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu [SSL] [LZO2] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] built on Jul  5 2010

Sep  6 22:29:42 karl nm-openvpn[17858]: Exiting

The GNOME interface seems to have a configuration setting for the password http://www.ossramblings.com/files/vpnclient.jpg but I did not find anything similar in KNetworkManager.

Still valid for the networkmanagement-plasmoid in openSUSE 11.4.

When are you going to look into this?

Can you confirm that the fix found in KDE bug 262555 (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262555) has been incorporated into the openSUSE version?

When will we see a fix that (re)enables the NetworkManager to setup OpenVPN connections?

I am using openSUSE 11.4 with Tumbleweed having
  NetworkManager-0.8.2-15.24.1

  NetworkManager-openvpn-0.8.2-6.1
  NetworkManager-openvpn-kde4-0.9.1git20110503-5.1
