For the use of VPN Clients under Linux or Windows, the password must be entered with
each new connection with the network.
Under certain circumstances it may also make sense to leave all boxes empty and to assign
no password. Instead of using a password, a limitation of the validity period can also
protect from undesired use.
Hint: To reduce the Server load, you may adjust on the device that the VPN connection is
only initiated through the key switch in the switch cabinet.
If you want to use a password, choose a possibly safe one:

If you want to use the certificates on the PC where also XCA runs, you still have to copy
the certificates - after having created and exported them - into the OVPN directory.
If you want to use the certificates on the device, make sure that the device is connected
with the PC and you have access to the web interface.
Go to „General / Certificates“ now and click on the “Upload” button. Search for the
directory where your certificates are filed and choose by a double click which one you want
to upload onto the device. If the certificate is protected by a password, enter the password
now.
Go to „Configuration / OpenVPN“ to configure your OpenVPN settings. The uploaded
certificate should now be available in the drop-down menu.
