username is not saved in openconnect connection dialog

[GeekSmith]

Same issue as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openconnect/+bug/1609700

This was marked resolved. The report of its reappearance in Ubuntu 19.04 and 19.10 has not been acknowledged.

This was working for me in 18.10, but a fresh install of 19.04 and 19.10 show that it is back. The password is saved when the option to save passwords is selected, but the username must be entered manually upon connection.

This issue affects many Ubuntu users and hasn't received any attention since it was reported again.

I moved it to NetworkManager because that's where the regression is. There's not a lot we can do about it in NetworkManager-openconnect.

Could someone having the issue report it upstream on
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/issues ?

Not only it doesn't connect username, but it saves
one time password instead

Still present after upgrading 19.10 -> 20.04.

Here's a workaround from the RedHat folks.

nmcli con mod VPNNAME vpn.secrets 'form:main:username=USERNAME','save_passwords=yes'
