can't use my vpn configuration - private key password failed

Post by jadel » Fri Dec 09, 2011 2:46 pm

Hi guys,
I have always used the same openvnp configuration for accessing my company files.
I already istalled the same config in different laptop I used.
Today I'm making the migration from my old laptop to my new one BUT the config doesn't work at all
(what I did: download openvpn, installed, installed my keys and config files)

Here the log:

Fri Dec 09 15:19:49 2011 OpenVPN 2.0.9 Win32-MinGW [SSL] [LZO] built on Oct 1 2006
Fri Dec 09 15:19:49 2011 IMPORTANT: OpenVPN's default port number is now 1194, based on an official port number assignment by IANA. OpenVPN 2.0-beta16 and earlier used 5000 as the default port.

:/ I tried every possible solution but it doesn't work at all. thanks for every suggestion :)

Place your key files under the same folder as the config file.

That's the problem: the files are already in the same folder of config file...

Post the config file, and the directory listing of the folder where the config file resides with chmod shown.

i believe jadel uses windows not linux..

if you use win 7 use openvpn 2.1.4 or higher,2.0.9 is quite old..

also post your config..


ps: i noticed this:Error: private key password verification failed
did you protect the key file with password?
