When a connection is being activated, nmcli could ask for secrets for another
connection, which might confuse users. We check the request now and only ask
for secrets of connection being activated.
Test case:
$ nmcli con up my-ethernet0
Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'Red Hat'.
Warning: password for '802-1x.identity' not given in 'passwd-file' and nmcli cannot ask without '--ask' option.
Synopsis:
nmcli agent { secret | polkit | all }
The command runs separate NetworkManager secret agent or session polkit agent, or both.
It is useful when
- no other secret agent is available (such as GUI nm-applet, gnome-shell, KDE applet)
- no other polkit agent is available (such as polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1,
polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 or lxpolkit)
