The problems I have identified so far: 1. If you have the rights org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own you will not be able to make a connection by selecting available networks. 2. The option "Available to all users" seems to be implied when you select a connection from available networks. 3. When you give them org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system I see no way of enforcing "Ask for this password every time" 4. Even when you make a connection that is not available to all users it still stores the password as text in /etc/NM... and only add the user name that is allowed to use the connection.
What we need is the possibility to create a connection by selecting it from the list of available networks (eduroam) and have it so that the password for each user is stored in the users wallet or keyring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060907 Title: NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text Status in NetworkManager: Incomplete Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/some-wireless-profile contains plain text passwords.
