Public bug reported:
I use network-manager to connect to openVPN servers.
First, when adding a new VPN config, entering a login is required, and
we are unable to save if we do not enter a username. This is a security
flaw as we need the ability to enter login and password each and every
time as an option.
Second, I enter a login username, but not a password. On first
connection it asks for a password, but never again. I have never been
asked for a password on the same VPN after entering it the first time.
This persists across reboots also. This is a substantial security flaw,
and this should be an option, not the default behaviour.
