<para>
This command activates a VPN connection profile enabling nmcli to interact with the user
('--ask'): this will allow nmcli to prompt for the VPN password on the command line when
the <emphasis>password-flags</emphasis> are set to '0x02' ('always ask', see
<link linkend='nm-settings'><citerefentry><refentrytitle>nm-settings</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry></link>
).
This is particularly useful for OTP based VPNs, as the user needs to be prompted for the
password each time the connection is activated.
