Hi all,
after the periodic restart of openvpn service, today the service is unable to start.
Trying to manually start the service we receive the following message:
Password entry required for 'Enter Private Key Password:' (PID 2895).
Please enter password with the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent tool!
If we insert the private key passphrase using the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent nothing happens and from /var/log/openvpn.log we can see the following error:

We also tried to change server.conf file adding the askpass option with a file containing the passphrase, obtaining the same error from the log files.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
