Autostart service private key password

fadedglory

Hey,

Im running a openvpn (server) application on a windows server 2012.
The application has a private key password.
I changed the windows service to autostart.

But i have no idea how i can parse the password with the autostart service. Is there a parameter i can give in, or are there any other solutions for this?

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Then you will have to remove the passphrase .. the simplest way to do this is by creating and using a new server cert/key like so:

easyrsa build-server-full servername nopass
