Update:

The patch was tested on Windows (Base, no GUI).

HOWTO was written, can be found on:

Please feel free to correct my English.


I am waiting for reply regarding your request to merge external include files into root.

Thanks!

Do you know a developer with windows environment that uses smartcard?
I just don't have a development environment for windows... I can make
one if there is no one to test it.
The code it-self was tested under windows, but not as a whole.

If you run openvpn as a service do you get prompted for password
(--askpass) by the management component? Does the GUI know to popup
this password request? If I understood correctly this what happens...

I will.

OK, I will.

I've done this intentionally...
The include files in the pkcs11 directory are taken from RSA Security
and not part of openvpn development. I think that it is good practice
to separate external files for internal ones.
Please tell me if you don't agree so I will merge them into the root.
