OpenVPN GUI change password DEK-Info not present
Posted: Tue Oct 21, 2014 9:26 am
I'm using OpenVPN 2.3.4 i686-w64 under Windows 7 64-bit.
If I add a password to a private key via OpenVPN GUI I don't get the DEK-Info header when I read the key with a text editor; I get only a generic "encrypted key", without any further information.
However, if I use the CLI to accomplish the same task, I get something like:
—–BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY—–
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,AFF0DDC62FCC76DD
GfCgk8CsxhFGwdMpB1tyIJTn74z0YFbChN27L/VIHZk
...bla bla bla
—–END RSA PRIVATE KEY—–
Why?
