Re: [opensuse] How to config openVPN in KDE?

Dear all,

I have been struggling with setting openVPN for a long time. I wish to
build an openVPN connection between home and my workplace. I got two
files from the workplace: ca.crt and ta.key, and of course, the
login/password pair. I have oS 11.4 and KDE 4.6.5.
Could somebody tell me, how can I set up this connection. How can I
check that it is really working. For this I usually try to connect to a
literature database available only for "insiders".

All help is welcome.

Thanks,
Albert Oszko

Hi all, let me clear it a bit more. I tried to set up openVPN with Networkmanager. I try to translate the thing, because I use Hungarian oS.

There is a Network manager setting panel. Two icons on the left: network connections and Other. I chose the first and then clicked the VPN tab. Another panel comes up, with two tabs: IP address and openVPN. Shall I write anything into the fields of the IP address tab. There is a menu called method; which one should I choose. On the tab there is a field named gateway - I know nothing about it. There are four choices of the type of connection field. E.g selecting X.509 with password there is a filed called CA-file and another called certificate or so. What is the difference? The ta.key file goes into the key field I assume.
Sorry, these things are not clear for me.

When I click the network connection icon on the tray, a menu pops up. The topmost item is Auto eth0 (active) and there is a red heart beside it. The second is the name of my hoped VPN connection. UNfortunately nothing happens wehn I click it. So obviously I still do something wrong.

Thanks for your patience to red all this.

Best regards,
Albert Oszko
