Comment 48 for bug 360818

My experience on my up to date Jaunty system matches that of #23 from Mike Crowe. After installing network-manager-openvpn I initially got "VPN Connection failed because there were no valid VPN secrets" back from the GUI. After playing with the password settings to try and work around that, the connection attempts just quietly failed with "NetworkManager: nm-vpn-connection.c.900: NeedSecrets failed" in the daemon.log.

All I had to do was reboot in order to fix this. After that, I got the "Allow application access to keyring?" prompt I remembered from the last system where this worked properly, and then everything worked fine. So for the network-manager-openvpn incarnation of this problem at least, a reboot seems the first thing to try after setting things up if the connection fails with a NeedSecrets failure.
