Exporting NetworkManager configurations

Question

I am using Fedora 19, there is no ~/.gconf/networking/NetworkManager directory, and system-wide /etc/NetworkManager has no files required.

I want to export my user's NetworkManager configurations, that is Wireless, VPN credentials (ip, username, password) to a file, or at least find the directory where they are stored in Fedora 19. How to do that?

it's for fedora, not for ubuntu, i don't see enough similarities for considering this post a duplicate — easl, Jul 03 '13 at 22:00

In Fedora seems that /etc/NetworkManager doesn't work, it's always empty. Take a look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, I found mine here.

Are these system wide or user? The OP wants his "user" configs. – slm Jul 03 '13 at 22:01
it's really there named `ifcfg-home`, but without password field (data) what i also want to export – easl Jul 03 '13 at 22:05
@loofda - It must be kept somewhere else as well, I don't have that in my directory. – slm Jul 03 '13 at 22:07

@loofda on my system the keys are in the same directory. – Renan Jul 03 '13 at 22:08
thanks! i've found it, it was in separate file `keys-home` – easl Jul 03 '13 at 22:10

If you run the following command you can determine what files NetworkManager is using to store it's config info:

$ sudo lsof | grep NetworkMa

You can also list out the contents of the NetworkManager package to see where things are kept (v0.8.5.92):

$ rpm -ql NetworkManager
...
/etc/NetworkManager
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
/etc/NetworkManager/VPN
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-avahi-autoipd.conf
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-dhcp-client.conf
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-dispatcher.conf
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-ifcfg-rh.conf

Won't work for files that are no longer open. – Pavel Šimerda Jun 06 '14 at 21:55 — Pavel Šimerda, Jun 06 '14 at 21:55
