Bug Description
Distro: Ubuntu precise

I have a lot of machines with multiple users running openvpn. The configuration today ( on lucid ) is done automatic using gconftool, (cfengine) I am configureing two connections for each users with private certificates.
At the moment i am working with preparation for "precise", and found a problem with this.
1. Configuring openvpn with Network-
( But it look like it stores the config in /etc/NetworkMan
and not as expected in each users gconf )
This is not an alternative due to +400 machines/users.
2. Configuring openvpn connections by using gconftools does not work:
In lucid I was using the following gconf settings which was working very well:
$ gconftool-2 -R /system/
/system/
name = ipv4
method = auto
/system/
ta = /home/xxxx/
key = /home/xxxx/
cert = /home/xxxx/
ca = /home/xxxx/
username = xxxx
service-type = org.freedesktop
port = 443
tap-dev = yes
comp-lzo = yes
proto-tcp = yes
cipher = AES-256-CBC
remote = xxx.xx.xx.xxx
connection-type = password-tls
ta-dir = 1
/system/
type = vpn
id = MetNoVPN1
autoconnect = false
4. When I open network-manager -> VPN-Connections : None of my connections is visible.
I have this as a question on
