[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#896086: network-manager-gnome: Cannot configure IPsec/IKEv2 VPN with pre-shared key

[Rupert Swarbrick]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 1.8.10-4
Severity: normal

Hi there,

It's not currently possible to use the network-manager-gnome GUI to
configure an IPsec/IKEv2 VPN with pre-shared key.

For other choices in the "Authentication" drop-down, the "Add" button
is greyed out unless the gateway address is set (sensible enough!). If
you choose Pre-shared key, the "Add" button remains greyed out even
after setting the gateway address.

I suspect that maybe it's greyed out because some text-box that should
contain the pre-shared key is still empty? Maybe the bug is that the
box isn't becoming visible?

Many thanks,

Rupert
