Looking into the code of network-manager-openvpn reveals that there are some checks performed to ensure that displayed files are really Static Keys. The checks are: - .key extension - file size is >=400 and < 1024 - it contains "-----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1-----" If those conditions are not met, files are not displayed. Running 'openvpn --genkey --secret static.key' creates valid file and it is displayed: # # 2048 bit OpenVPN static key # -----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1----- 37ffa0eec37d39edf8a79097a86bffa3 dc975e7a93a3d5837bb8dbfecdfe1d6b 9d95dfdd1f198e13669f9a38619da4fc 7458edab0a32eb7d1fd561a1cb828523 aaed099985ce0f3ffe3adee181540770 8033b76c0cf63e3dd08b68f117245d62 600fa631d56486fe24eac33c8a34fceb fbce5dfd884ae4f76bb39597239ff0f6 12db47b8edcb7d404b1e41ff4a5d4f46 9d46cc67fad1084257ace8c4be255d15 fa0dae926eeac0714bc5d9f4ec5a8423 42231635174ab37f2cc35c6ca9c5711a 9b6a57b1a53501f97d00c9e5764484b8 318822fa692dd2915a9a11d7d4659103 1d6a702d06296bc2ef048a5aa8e1d018 4e97db861e3f022a669c3f95e130bb82 -----END OpenVPN Static key V1----- -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
