[PATCH] Fix systemd errors when openvpn is started when there is no tty available

comment:1 Changed 8 years ago by David Sommerseth

The attached patch is a proposal fixing this issue, but it is needed to investigate if the original patch should do the isatty() check in a better place first.

This patch breaks 'Enter Private Key Password' when starting OpenVPN via systemctl on the command line with a tty available. Username/password works as expected.

I think the patch I have attached should fix all issues - as in: I've tested all cases that I can reproduce here (no systemd, but auth-user-pass and passphrase-protected keys), and I understand why I broke systemd - the "do we have systemd?" branch happens right inside get_console_input() which I did not want to touch initially.

Could you please test this? Patch is against master, but should apply just as is to 2.3.8 or release/2.3 branch.

If this works, it will be part of 2.3.9 which will be shipped in the next few days.
