Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-
When I create a PPTP VPN connection using the network-manager UI, and enter a username and password for the connection, and try to connect it, it says "The VPN Connection failed because there were no valid VPN secrets".
However, if I edit the connection preferences and remove the password, and connect, it comes up with a dialog asking for the password. When I enter the password the connection works.
I have tried this several times and the behaviour is reproducable.
