Public bug reported:
In 16.04, it is currently not possible to import OpenVPN configurations.
Specifically, imports fail with the error of:
The file 'filename.ovpn' could not be read or does not contain
recognized VPN connection information.
Error: Key file contains line 'client' which is not a key-value pair,
group, or comment.
------
An example configuration that fails to import is as follows (with some
critical components excluded, like a proper remote address, or a proper
x509 name); this is a config that otherwise works with a Sophos XG
Firewall-based SSL VPN system
client
dev tun
persist-tun
persist-key
proto tcp
verify-x509-name "<Proper CN/DN chain>"
route remote_host 255.255.255.255 net_gateway
resolv-retry infinite
remote 1.2.3.4 8443 tcp
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
auth-user-pass
cipher AES-256-CBC
auth SHA512
comp-lzo no
route-delay 4
verb 3
reneg-sec 0
------
This same exact configuration works with a direct call of `openvpn
./filename.ovpn`.
Why Network Manager is unable to parse or import the OpenVPN
configuration is beyond my ability to comprehend.
Note that the same configuration made by hand in the new VPN window
works fine, but the import function fails. (Which is a pretty severe
bug)
