[Bug 275608] [NEW] nm-openvpn "Passwords with Certificate (TLS)" panel has wrong labels and inverts passwords

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Thierry Carrez (tcarrez):

I use a VPN to the office using the "Passwords with Certificate (TLS)"
option in openvpn, I configured the following values:

CA: /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
Cert: /etc/openvpn/crispin-00.crt
Key: /etc/openvpn/crispin-00.key

This all used to work fine (in hardy), but in the latest version in
intrepid (0.7~~svn20080908t183521a-0ubuntu2) NM fails with:

Cannot load private key file /etc/openvpn/crispin-00.key:
error:0B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key
values mismatch

I did some digging, and found that the openvpn commandline is:

openvpn .... --ca /etc/openvpn/crispin-00.crt --cert /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
--key  /etc/openvpn/crispin-00.key ...

note that the CA on the commandline is NOT what I configured above.

If I swap the CA and cert over in the configuration then all works fine
- but I shouldn't need to do that, something is swapping over the CA and
Cert between the UI and the openvpn commandline.
