Hi, I need some help. I have CentOS-6 installed on an older 32bit desktop. The command su -c “openvpn –config foo.ovpn”
works well, but would like to do it from NetworkManager.

(1) If I try to import foo.ovpn then the certificate file references are not populated. If I try to select files extracted from foo.ovpn then the Private key file cannot be selected and therefore setup is aborted.

(2) If I create a .conf file with appropriate entries then NetworkManager imports it fully, including the .pem key file. However, connection is timed out, connection fails.

I researched Internet, RFM, permissions, SElinux, messages, etc. to no avail, so I request support.

Do I miss a component? Where can I examine the NetworkManager log? Why the .pem key file is not selectable?

I try this mailing list first – and thank you.
