 |
|
Hi,
with systemd, an openvpn connection can be started like this: | Code: | | systemctl start openvpn@my_conf_file |
However, in case you have openvpn keys that require a password entry on tty/stdin, this entry is skipped, with according failure messages in the systemd journal. For openvpn keys without password the systemd openvpn scripts work out of the box.
Sure, systemd is prepared by design to allow password entry (with helpers like systemd-ask-password), however, this does not seem to be the case for systemd's default configuration for openvpn yet.
Anyone with a solution yet?

Am I the only one securing openvpn connections with a password? 
Anyway, this seems to be fixed in openvpn-2.3.4-r1 (not yet marked stable).
And if anyone wants to disable the annoying password requests on *all* terminals, then cd to /usr/lib64/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ and replace the symlink systemd-ask-password-wall.path by a systemd-ask-password-console.path symlink. |
