Re: New OpenVPN interface



Hi Jon,

I was trying to configure the Open VPN plugin today and faced some usability issues. Firstly, my laptop has a 1280x800 screen resolution. So, when I expand the optional configuration node, the UI goes beyond my screen size and there is no way for me to work with it. Either the UI should utilize scroll bars or should prefer to get it out in a separate window.

Anyone else faced this issue?

later,
Rogue

Using NM 0.6.4, FC6 + Gnome

Attached are the patches to the openvpn gui I promised.  I think they
provide a simplistic default interface with the ability to expose the
numerous configuration options needed by the vpn clients.

Some Notes:

The patch against trunk includes my fixes to make import-export work
properly as well as the gui changes.

I read up on the details of the Direction flag for TLS-Auth, and
apparently it can be any of those options.  Most the how-to's show
Server as 0 and Client as 1 but really the client just has to be the
opposite of the server, or both could be none.  So for now I will leave
those radio buttons in the config.

The advanced dialog is modal and transient on the nm-vpn-properties
window.  I couldn't find a quick and easy way to figure out if it was
launched from a druid or editor window.
      
Committed to trunk and stable, thanks.  If you want to take a stab at
the other two, feel free :)
    

I already have the VPNC done, I just need to clean up the patch.  I am
working on the PPTP one.  That one is taking some time because I am
trying to organize the multiple options in a more general sense.  I will
post some screenshots to get opinions very soon.

I will also be more than willing to help with the openswan dialogs once
he is at that point.

Thanks!

If people are generally happy with this approach then give a nod and I
will work on updating the other vpn clients to match.

Add other options to the vpn clients.  ( If people could bugzilla these
I would appreciate it ).
