Hey, I've SIM-PIN blocked one of my SIM cards just by having a gsm autoconnected settings with a PIN stored and then PIN not matching the one in the device. When this happens, NM will try to unlock SIM-PIN once, and if it fails it won't try again (good) (*)... until the next reboot (bad). So, I forgot about this setup and after just a couple of system reboots got the SIM-PIN blocked, and had to recover it with the PUK. Don't know if this kind of thing is done in other kinds of settings, but could we completely remove the SIM-PIN stored within the settings if it fails once, so that not even on the next reboot the unlock with the wrong PIN is attempted? Or is this considered a user error? I'm not exactly sure where to draw the line about this issue, I think I have pros and cons for both solutions, so just opening the question here. What do you think? (*) It also doesn't re-ask the user for the PIN right away, still need to get trace logs as thaller suggested.
Hi, That sounds good to me. it's slightly ugly, that activating a profile may result in writing it anew to disk. But we already do that when (for example with Wi-Fi), when the password is wrong and we get a better password from the secret agent. While a bit odd that activating a profile may re-write it, it probably makes sense. best, Thomas
