[Bug 780717] Re: Using PKCS#12 file requires password for private key
There is a work around for this, but it isn't as simple as it should be. I can confirm that in 18.04.2 LTS that you can't import the p12 cert into it. However if you manually extract out the crt, key and ca from the p12 file, you can select them manually for an openvpn for each file, and that does work. I used the following commands to do it, and this was successful on 18.04.2 Private Key openssl pkcs12 -in client.p12 -nocerts -nodes | sed -ne '/-BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-/,/-END PRIVATE KEY-/p' > client.key Public Certificate openssl pkcs12 -in client.p12 -clcerts -nokeys | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p' > client.cer CA Certificate openssl pkcs12 -in client.p12 -cacerts -nokeys -chain | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p' > client-ca.cer Just replace the "client" part of the lines above with your file. It is a pain that you have to do this, but it does work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780717 Title: Using PKCS#12 file requires password for private key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/780717/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confirm the same problem on 16.04 LTS The random characters do not work for me. It's a customer's VPN so I cannot insist on changes being make to fit me. The configuration works fine when using he command line "openvpn --config .ovpn", but I would prefer to use Network Manager for the simplicity of it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780717 Title: Using PKCS#12 file requires password for private key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/780717/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confirm this too. Even on 17.04 the problem still exists. I have no password on p12 certificate, but network-manager openvpn plugin still requires it.

The solution sugested by connstance does not resolve the problem. In my case I am trying to access my customer VPN and I cannot password protect the certificate.

Comrades, it is not a bug. If you are using pfsense you should define p12 password in Certificate Export Options.

[Bug 780717] Re: Using PKCS#12 file requires password for private key
No segfault here on 14.04 (pfSense 2.1.4 with the OpenVPN Export Plugin), but exporting the config+certs ('Archive') from pfSense, you can't save the imported profile in network manager without entering a password for the pkcs12 file (which when exported from pfSense, doesn't have one!) I've been able to get round this by exporting the user's Public + Private Keys, and the CA Cert individually from pfSense then selecting them individually in the network manager interface.
