Trying to get openvpn working in openSUSE Tumbleweed

Captain Brillo · 06-17-2019, 01:05 PM

Following the instructions at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:OpenVPN_...tion_and_Setup

and I've run into terms I don't recognize; getting this error:

Code:

#easyrsa build-ca

Using SSL: openssl OpenSSL 1.1.1b  26 Feb 2019

Enter New CA Key Passphrase: 
Re-Enter New CA Key Passphrase: 
Error reading password from BIO
Error getting password

What's a "CA Key Passphrase" called when it's at home?

I assume you're entering a blank passphrase? If so, try using the nopass option...

Code:

easyrsa build-ca nopass

Another layer of protection for the certificate authority AFAIU.
