Hi all,
I’ve been trying off and on over the last few days to set up a VPN connection to amprnet
to use my new allocation.
I’m not succeeding on multiple linux machines and a macOS device and seeing a couple of
the same errors -
OpenSSL: error:0B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values
mismatch
Cannot load private key file /etc/openvpn/client.key
Error: private key password verification failed
The first is related to, I assume, my user certificate - is this a fatal error and am I
doing something wrong, has the advice changed from `cat certs/user certs/authorities >
client.crt`?
Secondly, the password verification is confusing me - I have just imported a new tqsl cert
generated this week, and in tqsl it advises me there’s no certificate passphrase. I’m not
sure what to do here - if I try and export a .p12 from tqsl, and generate keys from that,
I am asked for a password too and that ends in no progress.
I see the same errors in tunnelblick on MacOS.
Is there any reason I’m being asked for a password? My current LoTW password doesn’t
resolve this. My concern is that there is some password I’m missing from when the
certificate was first generated years ago and that now prevents me from accessing the
VPN.
Cheers & 73
