[Solved]Pass phrase at server boot

Post by Sigmoid » Thu Jan 01, 2015 1:45 pm

My OpenVPN solution is running smooth and fulfill my demands.

The only problem is at boot/startup. The OpenVPN daemon require the private key password: 'Enter Private Key Password:'.

Any solutions? Similar topics in this forum don't give me the solution.

avoid the protection of private key on your openvpn server with a password...

i dont think its make any sense to protect servers private key with a pass anyway,

Thanks.

Do I have to regenerate the servers private key without password, or is there an other solution?
