Unable to switch realm on authentication dialog

Seems this is a cross-distribution issue as it is also reported against Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1433997

Wanted to make sure it's reported here as it is also an issue for 17.10 - This likely needs to be filed on the upstream repository, however I cannot find their dev repo.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Confirm: the same on Ubuntu 18.04.

Any information about upstream?

UPD: upstream thread -- https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775453

I have the same issue too, on Ubuntu 18.04. In the syslog I could find these messages, appearing in coincidence to the opening of the prompt window:

gnome-shell[1380]: JS ERROR: TypeError: item is undefined#012setActiveConnections/<@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/status/network.js:1518:17#012setActiveConnections@resourc e:///org/gnome/shell/ui/status/network.js:1515:9#012wrapper@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/_legacy.js:82:22#012_syncVpnConnections@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/status/network.js:1853:9#012wrapper@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/_legacy.js:82:22

The issue was also reported on gitlab
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager-openconnect/issues/5

It turns out it works as expected with openconnect-8, I just built it from source after a friend mentioned it works fine for him on another distro.

Can someone update openconnect to version 8 in universe, at least for bionic and cosmic?

Uploading openconnect 8 to bionic is way too large of a change to make for a SRU.

However, after looking at this again, I think it may have been fixed in openconnect with this commit:

https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/commit/669c7d3e7a45

Can you test applying that as a patch to the openconnect source package in bionic? If that fixes it for you, then that could be proposed as an SRU to bionic, and cosmic if anyone is so motivated.

For now Ubuntu 18.04 packages of openconnect-8.02 are available in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~cristi/+archive/ubuntu/openconnect

I also tried to create packages for 18.10 but those fail to compile and I didn't have time to look into it yet, any help would be more than welcome.

@Mike unfortunately I don't have more to spend on this, but if you could make some packages and put them in a PPA maybe someone out there could give it a try.

Neither do I, I was only responding to your question about whether bionic would be updated to openconnect 8.

I fixed this issue in 669c7d3e7a45aabc3035f8f538bbd36e23dbd3d8 (https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/commit/669c7d3e7a45aabc3035f8f538bbd36e23dbd3d8) and a related one for GlobalProtect VPNs in 7224312999fb5601d4c7e76ea9afe7eb6b2ca761 (https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/commit/7224312999fb5601d4c7e76ea9afe7eb6b2ca761).

It's in OpenConnect v8.0 and subsequent point releases.

There are other important fixes in 8.0x including for CVE-2018-20319
and the CSD handling to make it resilient to round-robin DNS changes.

A simple update to 8.02 might be the better option.

The package testsuite fails in cosmic (already with the archive version) which is failing the build, I'm too busy at the moment to work on that so I failed the cosmic SRU/removed it and I'm marking wontfix for that serie

Fix confirmed here! Thank you

7.08-3ubuntu0.18.04.1 has fixed the problem and realms can be switched.
