Description Jan Synacek 2015-10-19 06:26:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
When I change the password setting from "Store the password for all users" to "Ask for this password every time", the setting is not saved.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome.x86_64    1:1.0.6-3.fc23


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an openvpn type VPN connection.
2. Set Authentication Type to "Password".
3. Fill in a user name and leave the password field blank.
4. Leave the password setting as "Store the password for all users".
5. Save and close the window.
6. Go to VPN Settings of the created VPN.
7. Change the password setting to "Ask for this password every time".
8. Save and close the window.
9. Go to VPN Settings of the VPN, check the password setting.


Actual results:
Password setting is set to the old value.


Expected results:
When password setting is changed, the new value is remembered.
Comment 1 Jirka Klimes 2015-10-19 12:24:07 UTC 
You can use nm-connection-editor that handles the password location correctly.

The gnome-control-center's network panel only seems to get the new values for password starage when something changes. So as a workaround you can type something to the password field and after that change the password setting to "Ask for this password".

Anyway, there is a related upstream bug that contains a commit fixing this issue (update to libnm-gtk).
