I'm now using plasma-nm 5.12.8. This version has the same behaviour as described for plasma-nm 5.12.6 in Comment 13: attempting to import an .ovpn file with inline certificates and keys results in a spurious error dialog, but the keys and certificates get successfully copied anyway. I also tried using nmcli. This seems to work without any problems: $ nmcli connection import type openvpn file ~/vpn/ukp-vpn.ovpn Connection 'ukp-vpn' (c6cbabfe-f117-4af9-aca5-be9e8c88595c) successfully added. When I open the NetworkManager plasma applet after doing this, I see the VPN connection listed there, with the keys and certificates copied into separate files under ~/.cert/nm-openvpn. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-openvpn in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606365 Title: unable to import config with inlined ca, cert, key or tls-auth Status in NetworkManager-OpenVPN: Fix Released Status in plasma-nm: New Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in plasma-nm package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn-gnome So a client of mine runs an OpenVPN setup. It exported a client.ovpn file but it fails to completely import this file using the network- manager (gnome) on Ubuntu 10.04. When I import the file, it gives me the name ("client") and gateway ("vpn.example.org") on the initial screen. No other fields are populated even though the client.ovpn file also includes a user certificate, server certifikate and a private key. When I go to advanced, some (most) of the settings obviously seem to import correct, others not at all. E.g. none of the TLS settings (key and key direction) are imported. From what I understand I should be able to use this without any additional settings.
