Hi out there,
happily working with the installation of openvpn.
From the terminal all works well but I'm asked to enter the passphrase
Openvpn should start as a daemon by now but doesn't.
server.conf is provided in /etc/openvpn
This is the reason from /var/log/daemon.log
Jun 25 07:16:56 kaa ovpn-server[926]: Cannot load private key file /etc/ssl/private/server-key.pem: error:0906A068:PEM routines:PEM_do_header:bad password read: error:140B0009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file:PEM lib
Jun 25 07:16:56 kaa ovpn-server[926]: Error: private key password verification failed
Jun 25 07:16:56 kaa ovpn-server[926]: Exiting
There are two possibilities to solve this:
1. Build a new server key without issuing a passphrase
2. Tell openvpn the current passphrase to open the key file
I'd like to go for #2 BUT I do NOT kow where I can tell openvpn the passphrase
Can anybody provide support??
THX
