Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 16.04 (Unity) with Ethernet connection set to automatically
connect to VPN in Network Manager after user login (to Ubuntu desktop).
Network Manager does not automatically connect to VPN after login.
Manually selecting the VPN connection from Network Manager in the system
tray after login results in normal connection.
Changing "password-flags=1" to "password-flags=0" in the VPN
configuration file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, Network-
Manager adds "password=XXXX" to that configuration file where XXXX is
VPN connection password in plain text. This change allow Network
Manager to connect to VPN automatically after user login.
Having to store VPN password in plain text in order for Network Manager
to automatically connect is not secure.
It appears Network Manager cannot obtain VPN password from Seahorse
after user login.
