[Openvpn-devel] [PATCH] Print a more user-friendly error when tls-crypt-v2 client auth fails

[Arne S. <ar...@rf...>]

While it might be clear to people being (too?) well versed in
typical crypto applications that an authentication failure probably
mean wrong decryption key, this is not really obvious for the typical
user/server admin.
