Bug Description
When: adding a new VPN connection under: VPN type "Password"
Problem: the "Save" button remains greyed out unless a "CA Certificate" is chosen.
Expected solution: a way to disable the "CA Certificate" setting.
Comments:
My VPN provider (TU Darmstadt) does not require a certificate, only a name/password pair. On the corresponding Network Manager tab, there is no way to disable the CA Certificate. The "Save" button remains grayed out unless some "CA Certificate" is chosen.
As a test, I attempted to add a certificate from another connection. The button was then accessible, but the connection could not be established.
