network manager openvpn "invalid VPN secrets"
When using network-
Complete removal and reinstallation did not resolve the issue.
The workaround from the the site's forum is that you cannot use any special characters in your VPN password. Sure enough, removing the '!' from my password cured the symptom and network-manager operates as required. The VPN provider has downgraded the quality of my password from 'excellent' to 'good' because I no longer have any special characters in it. At this point I have not tested any other special characters.
I believe that proper operation of the package(s) would allow [encourage?] use of special characters in passwords.
