iOS: PKCS5 error when prompted for the private key password (encrypted with OpenSSL 1.1)

Severity: Not set (select this one, unless your'e a OpenVPN developer) Keywords: easy-rsa openssl pkcs5

Description

The latest version of OpenVPN connect doesn't seem to be able to decrypt RSA/EC private keys. I'm importing the .ovpn with the embedded key starting with "-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----".

I am being asked for a password but it's not accepted, here is the error:

EVENT: CORE_ERROR mbed TLS: error parsing config private key : PKCS5 - Requested encryption or digest alg not available [ERR]

I'm attaching two sample keys, password is "test"

this should finally be fixed with 1.2.9. Please test and re-open this ticket if needed.

I opened the issue because indeed version 1.2.9 did not work for me, I’m still getting the error. I also posted it on the forum ​https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=25929

Also, I’m generating the PKI with easyrsa version 4.4, openssl 1.1, using this config:

set_var EASYRSA_ALGO ec
set_var EASYRSA_CURVE secp384r1
set_var EASYRSA_DIGEST sha256

Typo: easyrsa release 3.0.4
