Package: openvpn
Version: 2.3.4-5
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

thanks for your work in the openvpn package. It's really appreciated.

I've found an annoying behaviour with this version of openvpn when
configured as a client of a remote VPN server.

When launching openvpn via:

 % sudo systemctl start openvpn
 or
 % sudo service openvpn start

no prompt happens.

I had to figure out how to enter the password by using 
systemd-tty-ask-password-agent
which is very counter intuitive [and annoying].

In wheezy, the behaviour was an user/password, pkcs12pass prompt showing up.

Aren't they other ways to ask for the password?

Perhaps this is related to #772812
