OpenVPNGui won't recognize my certificate password

[simchaw]

I created a client new certificate on my IPFire appliance. I can import it in Windows, so I know I have the correct password. But OpenVPNGui tells me it can't open the certificate because it's the wrong password. I updated to the client 2.6.5.1001 which did not help. Any ideas?

I don't know if this is relevant, but: Since I first started using OpenVPN several years ago, the GUI always switches keyboard language when I try to connect. It's annoying, but manageaable. In this case, I used the view password option to make sure the password was enterred correctly.
