So here's the problem; the [vpn] setting isn't completely specified.On Thu, 2011-11-03 at 10:26 +0100, Francesco Andrisani wrote:

Did you import this connection from an openvpn config file? Unless this
was changed at some point (or there's a bug in the editor) this
connection was never valid since it doesn't have the required connection
type field and a few other things. Here's what it *should* look like:
[vpn]
service-type=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn
connection-type=password
password-flags=3
remote=ovpn.mycompany.com
cipher=AES-256-CBC
proto-tcp=yes
reneg-seconds=0
port=443
username=dcbw
ca=/home/dcbw/MyCA.pem
or something along those lines. If you imported it from a config file,
can you try doing that again? If it still looks like this, can you send
me the config file so I can see what's going wrong?
