The new windows GUI does not ask for PKCS11 PIN

oernii

Hi, we here are used to run openvpn clients from the windows cmd.exe commandline. Reason for that is that the old gui and the NEW GUI also does not ask for our keys pkcs11 PIN. In the terminal openvpn asks for username/password, then conntects to the server and then asks for PIN.

The GUIs however never ask the PIN, only username/passwords.

- we use opensc as pkcs11 provider.
- in terminal it looks like: "Enter OpenSC Card (User Surname) token Password:"
- PS: the GUI I use is from http://sourceforge.net/projects/openvpn-gui/ (openvpn-gui-20110301170456.exe )

thanks for possible tips on how to solve this.

Hi,

we are using a version that has been modified to allow input of a pkcs11 password. It can be found here:
http://ovpnppc.ziggurat29.com/files/openvpn-gui-1.0.3-pkcs11.zip

In our hands, it works perfectly well.

Best wishes,

Paul.

fantastic! thanks. BTW, would you happen to know if sources/patches are available?

Yes, the source code is provided via the same link. The present version is a hack of the most recent version of OpenVPN-GUI, but there is no guarantee that updates of this hacked version will be published. Let's hope that the original programmers are willing to include the hack into their code.

I'm sorry to bring back this thread,but I was searching for the source of this exe which provides PKCS and haven't found it. Is it available somewhere?
