Topic

An updated NetworkManager-openswan package that fixes various bug is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

NetworkManager-openswan contains software for integrating the Openswan VPN
software with NetworkManager and the GNOME desktop.

This updated NetworkManager-openswan package includes fixes for the following
bugs:

  • When an openswan VPN is established, the NetworkManager applet did not display

any notification (login banner) and the error message, "Error getting 'Banner'",
was logged. With this update, NetworkManager now displays the connection
establishment notification as a tooltip for the NetworkManager icon. (BZ#684809)

  • Prior to this update, networkmanager-openswan did not provide an export

feature. Due to this, it was not possible to save the configuration settings in
a file. This update adds this feature and now it is possible to export
configuration settings to a file. (BZ#702323)

  • Prior to this update, NetworkManager could not properly track the status of an

openswan VPN. Consequently, when an openswan VPN was disconnected,
NetworkManager did not remove the VPN padlock icon. This update fixes this issue
and now the VPN padlock icon is removed after an openswan VPN connection is
terminated. (BZ#705890)

All users of NetworkManager-openswan are advised to upgrade to this updated
package, which fixes these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
