Hello,

I'm using debian 9 up to date.

Desktop Environment: Gnome

Scenario: Where I work we connect to the network with Ethernet and
802.1x peap authentication. Each X days passwords expire and we need
to change it.

Problem: When I try to change the password to the new one and I apply
changes everything seems fine (I apply and get no errors), but when I
open the same settings back again the old password still remains, so
the password is not really changed no matter how many times I try.

Workaround so far: The only way I found so far to effectively set the
password is to disable security completely and enable it back again to
define all values from scratch.

Additional info:
Passwords are 32 characters long include uppercase, lowercase, digits,
minus, underline and special characters such as !, $, %, &, etc.

Package list and debian package version:
network-manager 1.6.2-3
network-manager-gnome 1.4.4-1
network-manager-vpnc 1.2.4-4
network-manager-vpnc-gnome 1.2.4-4

Find attached a screenshot which shows the window where I set the password.
"/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Profile 1" contents:


[connection]
id=Profile 1
uuid=**redacted**
type=ethernet
permissions=
timestamp=1508396493

[ethernet]
mac-address-blacklist=

[802-1x]
eap=peap;
identity=dferradal
password=**redacted**
phase2-auth=mschapv2

[ipv4]
dns-search=
method=auto

[ipv6]
addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy
dns-search=
method=ignore


If there is any more info I can provide, do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks in advance!
