[Bug 475814] Re: vpnc will only connect successfully on first try per session

[Lando Nachtmann]

@Matt: Yes, VPN via wireless.

I tried a few more things. Still the same problems, _but_ I am not sure
anymore if I am in the right discussion: Now I get this additional
syslog output on a failed connection attempt:

Nov 18 15:54:39 knuff NetworkManager: <WARN>  nm_vpn_connection_connect_cb(): VPN connection 'VPN LRZ' failed to connect: 'No VPN secrets!'.
Nov 18 15:54:39 knuff NetworkManager: <WARN>  connection_state_changed(): Could not process the request because no VPN connection was active.

When I am searching for that, I get lots of related bugs, but not
exactly my problem (failed on _second_ try, vpnc-plugin, password-based
authentication).

And I think, I located my problem after all: When I am looking into the
VPN settings in the network-manager immediately after a boot (so before
I am connecting the first time), I can see both passwords (group and
user) which are saved there. After connecting and disconnecting, these
fields are empty! After a reboot, the passwords are back again. And
furthermore: When I reenter the passwords before a second connection
attempt, it works! Now, is this a network-manager or a network-manager-
pvnc bug and should I open a new one for that?
