Review request for Network Management and KNetworkManager.


Summary
-------

This patch adds support for password protected keys when using OpenVPN. This fixes long standing bug 150680.

I have added a text field called "Key password" to the configuration parameters for connection types "Certificates" and "Certificates with password". At the same time I fixed other issues in the UI file: changed tab order, added missing buddy's and masked password fields.

The rest was easy: the "Key password" value will be stored as a "secret". The NetworkManager daemon receives this "cert-pass" value and connects successfully.


This addresses bug 150680.

Testing
-------

I have tested "Certificates" mode with and without a password protected key. In case your key is not protected, you should not fill in the "Key password" field. But if you do, it will be erased after a successful login (I believe this is caused by NetworkManager sending us updated data). Not really an issue IMO.

I also tested "Certificates with password" mode. I do not have such a setup, but it seems to work in the same way as "Certificates" and ignores my provided username/password values.


Thanks,

Andy
