Searching for "nmcli save vpn password" gives https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/335999/use-nmcli-to-modify-vpn-password as the second result, that shows this incantation, but without password-flags set correctly, this does nothing, and, most importantly, without providing any kind of feedback to the user. The command just exits quietly, without any diagnostic.

Right.

My only point/thought was that <option>=<value> could me more option than just password.  And, even
if there wasn't, "option" should be documented.

In any event all is good and the BZ for the selinux context is getting rapid attention.  :-)
