Ask for private key password when connecting ?

Post by josa1971 » Tue Jun 08, 2021 3:22 pm

Hi there,

We're using the OpenVPN Connect client with Windows10. We use client-certificates which we import in the client. When we import the p12 file the user enters the password, en the certificate and key are imported. In the VPN profile the user selects the correct certificate, works like a charm.

But what if we want the user to enter the password each time the private key is needed (when connecting to the OpenVPN server)? Is that possible? Would be nice to have this option :-)

Kind regards,

Jos Andel

Hello Jos,

At this moment, that is not possible. We have taken note of your feature request however.

Kind regards,
Johan
