Hi,
my question is: how can I allow Networkmanager to establish a VPN connection from a machine I’m logged into via xrdp?
The situation is as follows: I’m sitting at machineA and using xfreerdp to log into machineB running an xrdp server. I’d like to establish a VPN connection ON machineB with Networkmanager, simply by clicking on it in nm-applet. However, nm-applet tells me: “Not authorized to control networking.”
I don’t have that problem when working directly on machineA, so it’s (probably) not an issue of my user being in the wrong group.
I’m guessing it’s a polkit issue but I don’t know how to grant myself the minimal set of permissions necessary to achieve what I want.
