Hello, I'm using debian 9 up to date.
Desktop Environment: Gnome Scenario: Where I work we connect to the network with Ethernet and 802.1x peap authentication. Each X days passwords expire and we need to change it. Problem: When I try to change the password to the new one and I apply changes everything seems fine (I apply and get no errors), but when I open the same settings back again the old password still remains, so the password is not really changed no matter how many times I try. Workaround so far: The only way I found so far to effectively set the password is to disable security completely and enable it back again to define all values from scratch. Additional info: Passwords are 32 characters long include uppercase, lowercase, digits, minus, underline and special characters such as !, $, %, &, etc. Package list and debian package version: network-manager 1.6.2-3 network-manager-gnome 1.4.4-1 network-manager-vpnc 1.2.4-4 network-manager-vpnc-gnome 1.2.4-4 Find attached a screenshot which shows the window where I set the password. "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Profile 1" contents: [connection] id=Profile 1 uuid=**redacted** type=ethernet permissions= timestamp=1508396493 [ethernet] mac-address-blacklist= [802-1x] eap=peap; identity=dferradal password=**redacted** phase2-auth=mschapv2 [ipv4] dns-search= method=auto [ipv6] addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy dns-search= method=ignore If there is any more info I can provide, do not hesitate to ask.
