Bug ID: 411512
Summary: VPN passwords are not persisted to kwallet
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.16.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: editor
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: k...@obfusc8.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
VPN passwords are not saved (when enabling "Store password for this user only
(encypted)"), however WIFI passwords are. Not sure when this stopped working,
but earlier versions did function correctly, so I suspect a regression.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create VPN connection
2. Set password and enable "Store password for this user only (encrypted)"
3. Apply changes
OBSERVED RESULT
Upon navigating away from VPN connection dialog and navigating back, password
is empty. Attempting to connect to VPN prompts for password every time.
No map entry is created in kdewallet for the VPN, however WIFI passwords stored
via the same method are successfully created in kdewallet.
Storing unencrypted works as expected, but is clearly not preferred.
EXPECTED RESULT
Password is saved and retrieved from kdewallet successfully.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.61.0
Qt Version: 5.13.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Saving the VPN produces the following logs, that seem to indicate the correct
calls are being made, however no entry appears in kdewallet:

Opening the connection edit dialog produces the following logs, however there's
nothing in kdewallet, so passwords are predictably empty:
kdeinit5[12397]: plasma-nm: virtual NMVariantMapMap
SecretAgent::GetSecrets(const NMVariantMapMap&, const QDBusObjectPath&, const
QString&, const QStringList&, uint)
kdeinit5[12397]: plasma-nm: Path: "/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/10"
kdeinit5[12397]: plasma-nm: Setting name: "vpn"
kdeinit5[12397]: plasma-nm: Hints: ()
kdeinit5[12397]: plasma-nm: Flags: 4
Tested using both OpenVPN and L2TP VPN connections, both produce the same
result. There are other bugs filed against specific VPNs, however this appears
to be a general problem, rather than specific to a certain VPN backend.
