 Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2016 1:44 am Post subject: [solved] plasma-nm openconnect (kde5) |
 |
|
Hi all,
I cannot connect to my VPN using plasma-nm.
If I try to connect to the VPN, plasma-nm opens a dialog and asks for username and password. After pressing the login button I get the notification: "Necessary secrets for the VPN connection were not provided.".
The connection works if I use openconnect from the command line (as root).
I'm using:

kde-plasma-5.5.5

Definitely issues with Plasma 5 and NetworkManager openconnect VPN right now. I've had three systems encounter this same problem when upgrading to Plasma 5. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's a KDE issue and not a Gentoo issue.
I just filed a bug for it on bugs.kde.org if you're interested in chiming in. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360176 |

Hi all,
just want to report that we found a solution. The issue could be solved by changing/adding polkit rules (see below). I found the solution/workaround after Alekseij replied to the kde bug report (thanks!):
| Code: |
cat /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/01-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system.rules
// Let users in plugdev group modify NetworkManager
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system" && subject.isInGroup("plugdev")) {
return "yes";
}
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own" && subject.isInGroup("plugdev")) {
return "yes";
}
});
|
I assume that both rules are needed (first one for system-wide connections and second one for user-only connections) but I haven't tested this. Anyway, after changing this rule plasma-nm and NetworkManager deal with saved vpn connections.
Thanks to everyone. |

Thank you, that solved the problem for me, too. 
In my polkit rule the system wide rule was already there, but the rule for user only connections was missing.
I had to use a workaround of stopping and restarting kded5 (kquitapp5 kded5; kstart5 kded5) before this fix. |
