It is pptp vpn, maybe it happen at other as well, but I did not try.
I have standard debian Gnome 3.14.1 with no special settings. I have
editet with the gnome network panel (do not exact name) I use default
keyring system (I do not know how can I get that information). However
it seems the problem is not with the keyring system - I can store the
password, I can connect with the stored password to the VPN many times,
but when again open the editing tool, the password is gone. I fill the
password again, I can connect agian with no problem, but when I open the
tool again, password disappear again.
Maybe it is some security feature, but it is really annoying feature,
which forces me to keep passwords side away, which is a security level-down.
The files do not contain the passwords and it happen even I do not
change anything. I can send it however, if you need it really.
Thanks, Marek
