My VPN setup authenticates both with a certificate and password. Using OpenVPN's defaults, the connection works fine. It reads the certificates and asks for a password before connecting. When I set up OpenVPN to run as a service on Windows 7, however, it never asks for a password. The GUI shows as connected, but it is not. In the log it shows:
Enter Private Key Password:
Error: Could not read Private Key Password from stdin
exiting due to fatal error
I would expect the OpenVPN service to prompt for the needed password, but it never prompts. Is there something I am missing?
