I have 5 people connecting to the same openvpn server. We are using smartcard authentication and PLAP. This is functioning well. Where things get odd is when a person reboots. When a windows 10 client reboots, they get reconnected without having to reauth with the smartcard. Server logs them in without ever presenting the smartcard pin/password prompt. Windows 11 clients, they are presented with the smartcard password box.
Another example, if all 5 are logged in to openvpn and I restart the openvpn server, only the 1 person running windows 11 will be reprompted for their password. Windows 10 clients just reconnect using the smartcard cert without a prompt.
The client side configs files are identical except for the 'pkcs11-id' line in the file referencing the smartcard certs.
We also all use the same smartcard, yubikey 5 fips.
The Openvpn server must be remembering the cert for the connections somehow? Or maybe the smartcard is staying unlocked across reboots? Anyone think of any reason this might be happening?
