I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. I am attmpting to create the first OpenVPN in
Network Manager. I installed Network Management framework(OpenVPN
plugin) and network amangement framework(OpenVPN plugin for Gnome GUI).

I click on the network manager icon (side by side UP and DOWN arrow)
then click on VPN Connections -> Configure VPN... the VPN tab is
selected so I click on the Add button, in the Choose a VPN Connection
Type popup I select OpenVPN then click on the Create button. Then a new
window appears. It is labelled Editing VPN connection 1 and the
Connection Name box is filled in with VPN connection 1. I fill in the
gateway field, change Authentication Type to Password, fill in the
username, change Password type to Always Ask, leave CA Certificate as
None and the Save button and Available to all users check box remain
greyed out.

Presumably the GUI thinks there is some crucial piece of information
missing. For comparison I tried creating an Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol (PPTP) VPN and the Save button and Available to all users check
box changed from greyed out to "clickable" as soon as I entered
something in the Gateway box.

Please step me through creation of an OpenVPN with username and password
authentication or shared key authentication.
