Sorry for all the comments, but I just worked around the issue by editing, /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/MY_CONNECTION and setting:
[vpn] ipsec-secret-type=save IPSec secret-flags=0 and adding: [vpn-secrets] IPSec secret=MYSECRET I am no longer prompted for anything other than the password when connecting. So obviously we have an issue with NM reading just the group password(IPSec secret) from the keyring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1043043 Title: Prompts for both the user and group passwords even though group password has been saved To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1043043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
