OpenVPN client auth-user-pass not working

[andrea95]

Hello, in my Rasperry Pi 3 with Jessie, I want connected to my OpenVPN Server 2.4 without insert username and password.
In ovpn file I don't have a row with

Code: Select all

auth-user-pass

so I add this line

Code: Select all

auth-user-pass password.txt

. In password.txt file there are username and password.
When I try to connect OpenVPN called me Private Key Password....

Thanks in advance.

Why don’t you strip the password from the key file? (With an OpenSSL command)
Doesn’t make any difference, security-wise.
