[Pkg-swan-devel] Bug#1020495: Error: unable to load VPN connection editor - on Identity tab at Gnome Network manager VPN

[Patrik Svestka]

Package: strongswan-nm
Version: 5.9.6-1+b1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: patrik.svestka at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
    I wanted to to configure IPSec client via the Network Manager and the strongswan.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   The only workaround I found is to use `nm-connection-editor` where you can create 
   the IPSec configuration configuration which is then shown in the VPN overview.  
   You can't still see it in the Identity tab even when created.  
   You have to always use `nm-connection-editor` even for editing.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   With the `nm-connection-editor` you can edit it, but you can not do that via network-manager!

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
    To see VPN connection editor for the IPsec/IKEv2(strongswan) on the Identity tab.
