[Bug 278784] Re: openvpn configuration with token (pkcs11 provider) blocks the boot

[Thierry Carrez]

According to
http://svn.openvpn.net/projects/openvpn/branches/BETA21/openvpn/management
/management-notes.txt the NEED-OK line is a notification that is
supposed to be acked using the management interface (issue a "needok
token-insertion-request ok" command to the management port)... That
makes it quite unsuitable at boot-up time.

Jonathan : does booting with the token already inserted (before the
notification pops up) work ? Does a workaround where we would filter out
configurations that use pkcs#11 so that they are not autostarted make
sense ? Would looking for "pkcs11-id" in the configuration be enough to
detect them ?
