The release of ubuntu: Description: Ubuntu 25.04 Release: 25.04 2.) Version of the package: 1.12.0-2 Some details about my VPN settings: Authentication type: Passowrd CA certificate: client-cap.pem I loaded the VPN configuration from a file provided by my employer. I have been successfully using it in other linux notebook for a period of a few years already. 3.) I tried to actually use the VPN connection. I filled in the password field and tried to activate the VPN. I expected the VPN to start working. 4.) The networkmanager failed to open the VPN connection asking me for the password again and again and again. The password was correct for sure. What was missing (and at first I did not know about it) was the VPN username. I do not remember if I was ever asked for it on this ubuntu system. Most likely not, because today I discovered the VPN username field to be empty. So, the bug or a quite undesired feature is that OpenVPN in my configuration does not inform user that the VPN username field is empty. It just asks for the password repeatedly, ignoring the empty VPN username field and being absolutely silent about it, thus giving he user impression that the password is incorrect.
