OK....  You've probably seen my other responses by now.  Fragmented as they are.

You have "password-flags = 1"

This means the password is stored in the user's key ring on a per-user basis.

I haven't tried changing this via nmcli.  But, will investigate.

Yup, thanks. This is doable. The magic incantation is:

nmcli connection modify "$conn" +vpn.data password-flags=0 \
  vpn.user-name  "$USERNAME" vpn.secrets password="$PASSWORD"

This needs to be documented somewhere, I would guess in the NetworkManager- openvpn package, which installs absolutely no documentation whatsoever. nm-settings(5) doesn't really go into what vpn.data and vpn.secrets have. This is bog standard OpenVPN, so it's reasonable to have something scribbled in the NetworkManager-openvpn package, even something that gets tossed next to the README that's already in there.
