I'm trying to make changes to an OpenVPN connection via sudo nm-connection-editor. On the VPN tab, save is greyed out unless I put text in the username field. With this behavior I cannot save changes that have been made elsewhere. Most of the changes I want to try are on the Advanced tab. As a test I put a name in the username field and could save, but for that connection, username should be empty. Now I can't save again unless text is present. Empty quotes allow me to save but prevent the normal use dialog from appearing that would prompt me for phrase and one-time-password.
I saw a solution that suggested checking the "All users may connect to this network" but that didn't help in my case.
I saw another solution suggesting to edit NetworkManager.conf but the suggested parameters are not present in my file.
I'm running
$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.22.3
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 7.4 (Maipo)
Any ideas on what I'm missing here?
