The keyfile code has to handle a few different formats of cert/key values,
and wasn't doing a good enough job of detecting plain paths as values. By
default the writer will write out a plain path (ie, not prefixed with file://)
and the reader will handle that correctly, *unless* that file does not
exist, at which the reader assumed it was a byte array. This caused the
read-in keyfile not to match the in-memory connection (since the in-memory
connection though the cert/key held a path, but the read-in one thought it
contained a blob) and this seems to eventually have triggered a write-out
with the new values (as a blob), which would then drop a .pem file into
system-connections/ containing the path that should have been in the
keyfile in the first place.
This all happened because we assumed that the given path for the cert or
key would actually be valid, which doesn't seem to be the case for a lot
of people. Clearly these connections won't work (since the certificate or
key does not exist) but the keyfile plugin shouldn't be messing up the
connection's settings at the very least.
Fix that by handling the check of whether the cert/key data is a path or
not in a less restrictive manner and add some testcases to make sure that
everything works as we expect.
If the cert/key path is relative to the keyfile then don't
bother writing the absolute path out. This also prevents the
keyfile plugin from rewriting a relative path to an absolute one,
preventing some annoyance for people that hand-edit keyfiles.
Passing a relative path to wpa_supplicant does no good since the supplicant
may not have the same working directory as NetworkManager. Relative paths
used in keyfiles are assumed to be relative to the keyfile itself anyway,
so actually use the absolute path we compute for the cert/key instead of
leaving it relative.
Since the keyfile plugin only stores the paths of these files,
we don't really care about what's in them. We also don't want
to attempt to read them as keyfiles, which produces warnings
in the logs.
All non-VPN secrets are considered system-owned if they do not
have any explicitly set secret flags, and this makes VPN secrets
treated the same way. As part of the import process plugins and
the applet already update secret flags. This ensures that VPN
secrets are treated consistently throughout the codebase.
Clients need to do their own logging using glib or whatever; these
macros while somewhat helpful were not flexible and are not a
substitute for actual logging in the client. g_warning, g_message,
and g_error are more suitable anyway.
