This issue has been discussed on the "Users" list and the problem identified thus far has been putting the certs in directories lacking the proper selinux contexts for certs. Resolved. |
Created attachment 1057468 [details] Workaround Description of problem: When trying to connect to a vpn (with the cli using "openvpn --config xxx.xxx" and the network manager), it just fail if the working dir is not the same as the config file and the path is not the full path (exemple: ca ca/crt is not working when ca /home/xxx/ca.crt works fine). Weird thing: it worked once but when I killed openvpn (using pkill), it didn't worked anymore. I have the same problem using the networkmanager and an imported config file. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make a fresh install of Fedora 23 2.Connect to a vpn through openvpn cli 3.kill openvpn using pkill 4.Try to reconnect Actual results: [pinkie@linux ~]$ openvpn --config VPN/SE1-Suède.ovpn Thu Jul 30 02:30:41 2015 Option 'nobind' in VPN/SE1-Suède.ovpn:20 is ignored by previous <connection> blocks Options error: --ca fails with 'ca.crt': No such file or directory Options error: --tls-auth fails with 'ta.key': No such file or directory Options error: Please correct these errors. Use --help for more information. Expected results: Connection to the vpn Additional info: I'm pretty sure it's an issue involving killing openvpn using pkill. Also I tried to remove openvpn but I'm new to fedora so I don't know how to flush config files etc... (like an apt-get remove --purge) Also, with the script attached to the bug, I have no problems. Sorry for my poor english btw :(
