Some months ago I created a patch to change VPN's settings from Plasma NM's secret agent. It does not work properly because when the secret agent is called the connection is already in progress and NetworkManager still uses the old username and group even though the new username and group were correctly saved, to the connection fails. On a second connect attempt the new username and group correctly appear in the password dialog. So basically that depends on NetworkManager, if NetworkManager allowed secret agents to change the settings of an ongoing connect attempt (like it allows for the secrets of that connection) we can implement the proper support in NetworkManager's clients (Plasma NM, nm-applet, etc). I think the same problem will happen with any script you try to create (it will only work on the second connect attempt, the first attempt will always use the old username).
