Re: Adding basic OpenVPN PKCS#11 support

Hello,

I have the need to run OpenVPN with PKCS#11 hardware certificates on
Linux. This does currently not seem to be possible with
NetworkManager.

I have looked around a bit and realize this is a can of worms. The
nice clean solution would require changes to OpenVPN, which so far
seems to be hard to get merged. 

So my plan right now is to take the simplest possible approach and
just add text fields where one can enter pkcs11-providers and pkcs11-
id (and of course support for importing these values). 

My question now is if I were to submit patches which does this, is
there any chance of them getting merged (assuming they follow coding
standard etc)?


Hi,


work on this would be great.

Lubomir was working on that, quite a while ago.

Some work in progess is still at [1]. Note this also requires support
from NetworkManager ([2]).
