Unable to connect to openVPN

[pcmagno]

Expected Behavior

When trying to connect to the added openVPN connection, it immediately fails.

Here's the notification message that pops up:

NetworkManager(nm-tray)
Connection lost
No longer connected to vpn 'my-vpn-conf'

Here's the error message on the terminal:

nm-tray: void NmModelPrivate::onActiveConnectionAdded(const QString&) /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/29  is currently invalid...
nm-tray: void NmModelPrivate::onActiveConnectionRemoved(const QString&) /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/29  is currently invalid...

I'm only unable to connect when using nm-tray. When I use nmcli or nm-applet, I can connect just fine. I also noticed that when I connect through nm-applet, there's an input dialog that asks for keyring password. Whereas with nm-tray, it just immediately fails.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. It always fails.

I think this could be related with https://github.com/palinek/nm-tray/issues/44 At this time nm-tray doesn't have an "ask for password" feature. Workaround is to save the password (I believe you need to save for all users) or connect via cli.

I'm using Password with Certificates (TLS) authentication... @hmollercl suggested a workaround is to save the password for all users. In my case, I need to save the key password for all users too!
