Hi all,
I'm using NM-0.7.2 with nm-pptp-0.7.2 and nm-applet-0.7.2, and find NM can't
save password of VPN connection in system scope.

It seems these's no way for NM to read user entered password, and hence no
way for nm-system-setting to save the password.

The reason is:
Only the function *imlementing save_secrets method of
NMVpnPluginUiWidgetInterface<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/libnm-glib/nm-vpn-plugin-ui-interface.h>
* can read user entered password from the GtkEntry widget, but
"save_secrets" is only called for user-scope settings.

Also auth-dialog doesn't support reading/saving password.

Though, the read path is ok for nm-connection-editor:
I've add a section "vpn-secrets" with an a key-value "password=xxxxx" in tha
system-connection key_file, then nm-connection-editor can read the manually
set password.

Any idea?


Regards,
