Title:
OpenVPN: Buggy config dialog for "Password with Certificates (TLS)"
authentication
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
For an OpenVPN connection, the "VPN" tab of the configuration dialog
is buggy when choosing "Password with Certificates (TLS)"
authentication. Choosing a certificate file for one of the three
User|CA|Private sometimes clears, sometimes sets the entries for the
two other certificates that are not affected. Also, a passphrase for
the private key is mandatory but shouldn't be.
Another option is to use one single PKCS#12 certificate (--pkcs12
switch for /usr/sbin/openvpn). It took me two hours to figure out that
the .p12 file I was given actually can be converted to three .pem
files using these commands:
openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in YOUR_CERT.p12 -out userkey.pem
openssl pkcs12 -nokeys -clcerts -in YOUR_CERT.p12 -out usercert.pem
openssl pkcs12 -nokeys -cacerts -in YOUR_CERT.p12 -out userca.pem
(taken from http://blog.stracca.net/?p=73). It would be very, very
helpful to have at least a note with a helpful link in the dialog
concerning PKCS#12 certificates, or, at best, if the GUI supported
this type of certificate right away (perhaps through yet another
authentication type "Password with Certificates (TLS) with PKCS#12
key").
