Impossible to save settings for Tunneled TLS connection

[Alexander Neumann]

I was attempting to connect to a Wifi router (WPA & WPA2 Enterprise, Tunneled TLS) using network-manager 0.9.10.0-4ubuntu15.1 in Ubuntu 15.04. I entered my username and password, however, the save button is gray and will not respond.

The only way I can save the settings is if I use an authentication method which is neither Tunneled TLS nor PEAP. Every other authentication methods lets me save the settings, but is the wrong setting for the router.

I tried connecting on Ubuntu 14.04, which worked flawlessly. I attempted to copy the profile in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ over to my Ubuntu install in 15.04, however, this did not solve the problem. This leads me to believe that it is a new problem in 15.10 and might have something to do with being unable to save the username and password to the keyring.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Network Manager now works with Tunneled TLS. Not sure whether the bug has been fixed or it was user error in the past. Either way, the problem is fixed.

I'm having the same problem with Ubuntu 14.04 - kernel 3.13.0-77-generic, network-manager 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7.2. I did all upgrades, but it still doesn't work for me, and it's a major issue, because I can't connect to my company WiFi. Any help is welcome!
