Bug Description

I configured a openvpn based connection using Network Manager.
I did set a gateway, user's certificate and user's key and CA's certificate.
I did insert the password for the private key.

Then, in "Advanced..." I checked the options:
- Use a TAP device
- Use LZO data compression

In "Routes..." I checked the option "Use this connection only for resources on its network"

After saving and opening again, the password has disappeared.
I checked the file "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/my-vpn-connection and indeed password is not saved.

I should mention that this OpenVPN configuration was working in ubuntu 12.04 and previous ones.

After some further investigation I discovered that the private key does not have a password.
Could it be then that the software was detecting this and not saving the password on purpose?
If so the bug is invalid.

Thanks

I tried the same configuration with a private key without password in Ubuntu 13.10 and the problem not exist.
