Description Pierre Ossman 2010-03-17 14:14:37 UTC 
The certificate for my server had expired, and instead of saying that, NM just told me that the connection timed out. Looking in /var/log/messages, I get this though:

Mar 17 15:01:25 mjolnir nm-openvpn[5848]: VERIFY ERROR: depth=0, error=certificate has expired: /C=SE/O=DrZeus.cx/OU=OpenVPN_key_for_drzeus.cx/CN=openvpn.drzeus.cx/emailAddress=root@drzeus.cx
Mar 17 15:01:25 mjolnir nm-openvpn[5848]: TLS_ERROR: BIO read tls_read_plaintext error: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
Mar 17 15:01:25 mjolnir nm-openvpn[5848]: TLS Error: TLS object -> incoming plaintext read error
Mar 17 15:01:25 mjolnir nm-openvpn[5848]: TLS Error: TLS handshake failed
Mar 17 15:01:25 mjolnir nm-openvpn[5848]: Fatal TLS error (check_tls_errors_co), restarting
Mar 17 15:01:25 mjolnir nm-openvpn[5848]: SIGUSR1[soft,tls-error] received, process restarting

This shouldn't be a problem for NM to parse and present a more useful error.

Yeah, we should try harder to do this.  Unfortunately this means screenscraping openvpn stdout, which really sucks, but it's the only way.
