OpenVPN GUI -- Password Entry for SmartCard (pkcs11)
Posted: Fri Feb 13, 2015 8:27 pm
Dear all
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:
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
