Public bug reported:
Prerequisites:
1. network-manager is installed
2. network-manager-openconnect-gnome is installed
3. Store the following text file:
% cat uni-graz-vpn.config
[openconnect]
Description=UniGraz
Host=univpn.uni-graz.at
CACert=(null)
Proxy=
CSDEnable=0
CSDWrapper=
UserCertificate=(null)
PrivateKey=(null)
FSID=0
StokenSource=disabled
StokenString=
Action (in the Network Manager GUI):
1. "Edit Connections..."
2. "Add"
3. "Import a saved VPN configuration"
4. Select the file uni-graz-vpn.config
5. Among the "VPN connections"
6. Choose "UniGraz"
7. A HTTPS request to univpn.uni-graz.at is taking place
Expected behavior:
8. A prompt for username and password is shown
Actual behavior:
8. An error message appears: "Failed to open CA file '/(null)': Error
while reading file." and "Failed to open HTTPS connection to univpn.uni-
graz.at"
Reason:
This package is uncapable of converting the export file content "(null)"
into an internal NULL value. Instead it is assumed as string "(null)"
and a slash is prepended for the filepath: "/(null)". The text file was
created by using network manager's export configuration utility. If you
replace "(null)" with "" in the configuration file, it will work
properly. Very annoying for non-technical users. Please fix this.
