Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn

When I import the attached configuration file, the key direction under 'Advanced -> TLS authentication' is not imported properly: Instead of '1' it is set to '0' which breaks the VPN connection. This works properly in Karmic with the same configuration file.

Still there in Beta 1. The part from the configuration file, that I get from my university is 'tls-auth ta.key 1'. This should give a '1' as well in 'key direction', but instead I get a '0' when importing this file.

I got same problem in Ubuntu 10.10.

When I imported xxx.ovpn which is openvpn settings. It read wrong tls-auth direction. In the xxx.ovpn file:

tls-auth ta.key 1

and the command line generated by nm-openvpn is:

--tls-auth /opt/etc/vpn11/ta.key 0

mine version is:

Source: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 0.8.1+git.20100810t173015.1711d04-0ubuntu1

This bug block me to connect the openvpn server I used, and spend me a while to find out what is really wrong here. So, please fix this bug. Thanks.
