Description Peter Grun 2015-12-17 15:44:27 CET

To another network profile set is needed for the root password.
In draksec is no adjustment for no password or user password available

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
create multiple network profiles and select this.

In the first time, the root password is required.

For me, the user password should be enough.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.

FWIW, authentication settings for draknetprofile cannot be configured in draksec, which might be related. Adding a polkit rule to /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/51-draksec.rules allows me to run draknetprofile without a password or whatever one configures.

But for switching between different profiles, I've no clue which command is run.
Not sure if we also need pokit integration for e.g. /sbin/set-netprofile ?

For completeness the OP chose the user password in the complete network section in draksec. Initial report via forums thread
