OpenVPN GUI -- Password Entry for SmartCard (pkcs11)

[lpr]

Dear all

Code: Select all

pkcs11-providers 'c:\Windows\System32\eTPKCS11.dll'
pkcs11-id 'SafeNet\x2C\x20Inc\x2E/eToken/00xxxxx8/xxxxxx\x20xxx/044xxxD5Dxx93xx0'

allows me to specify my Aladin eToken Pro decies in the client.ovpn configuration file.

While I can start openvpn.exe on the command line and get it to ask for my password, I cannot get OpenVPN GUI to open a PIN-entry window, i.e. it runs smoothly on the command line but not via OpenVPN GUI

On the other hand, when I make use of a password-protected private-key, the OpenVPN GUI asks me correctly for that password.

I could not detect any changes in the OpenVPN GUI when I tried the following settings in the client.opvn configuration:

Code: Select all

auth-retry nointeract
management-hold
management-signal
management 127.0.0.1 8888
management-query-passwords

What am I missing? I'd appreciate any hint.

I have installed the latest community package of OpenVPN on Windows 7, 64bit. The OpenVPN GUI states "OpenVPN GUI v5" in its about-box.

Thanks

Luke
