during connect initiatiion request for password ??? WHY

Post by jochenthomas » Fri Mar 13, 2015 7:44 pm

Was creating certs/keys with easy-rsa version 2.2.2-1
content of vars was:
set KEY_CONFIG=openssl-1.0.0.cnf
set KEY_DIR=keys
set KEY_SIZE=2048
set KEY_COUNTRY=xx
set KEY_PROVINCE=xx
set KEY_CITY=CITY
set KEY_ORG=ABC
set KEY_EMAIL=office@abc.com
set KEY_CN=abc.com
set KEY_NAME=changme
set KEY_OU=Office

Created all certs without any pass phrase (using build-ca or build-key)!!

Configured Android Client or Win PC client:
client
dev tun
proto tcp-client
remote abc.com 1194
float
cipher AES-256-CBC
comp-lzo adaptive
keepalive 15 60
auth-user-pass
ns-cert-type server
<ca>xxxx</ca>
<cert>xxxx</cert>
<key>xxxx</key>
resolv-retry infinite
nobind

But now a password is necessary (popup during connection process).
Why I need to give a password (and if correct, which password is requested - I did not fill in any password)...

And another question: If a router has a different/older open-ssl version, what would happen if I use e.g. easy-rsa 3.x rc x? Is open-ssl downward compatible?

So please can you let me know how to solve this.
Thanks in advance.

your config contains

Code: Select all

auth-user-pass
this is used for passing username/pass authentication to your server.
