[SOLVED] NetworkManager doesn't save password for openconnect vpn

Hello dear community!

I have a problem with a Cisco Anyconnect VPN connection, configured with NetworkManager via the networkmanager-openconnect plugin:

$ pacman -Q | grep openconnect
networkmanager-openconnect 1.2.10-1
openconnect 1:9.12-1

Everything works fine, except that it doesn't save the password despite me putting the tick against the "Store password" option upon connecting. This is probably not a keyring issue, since my Wi-Fi password gets saved just fine. I tried reading wiki, and googled, but can't find anything relevant. I also can't figure out how to debug this

For background information, I've installed Arch Linux few days ago, moving away from Kubuntu. I didn't use the archinstall script, and after the initial setup steps from the wiki, I installed KDE Plasma with these commands:

pacman -S xorg plasma plasma-wayland-session kde-applications
systemctl enable sddm.service
systemctl enable NetworkManager.service

Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager doesn't save password for openconnect vpn

Found a solution. I had to untick "All users may connect to this network" in the VPN connection "General configuration" settings section, and to allow my user to connect. After this saving the password works.
