Hi northisup,

It appears you are seeing the same issue as hamidp - if you're able to run through the same instructions as posted above to try and get us a crash report that would be appreciated (as well as see whether an uninstall/install does the trick).

The _NSGlyphTreeInsertGlyphs messages are likely to be a Yosemite issue (they're not a terminal error), however to be on the safe side: do you know whether the names of any of your connections contain any glyph characters? Glyph characters are typically small picture characters or symbols. Do you run your system in a language other than English?

Cheers,
James
I don't think there are any glyphs in my connections. I have also removed all viscosity preferences and application support items. So it should be a fresh install.

My system is setup using us-english defaults.

I can do a system report for you if you want

Hi northisup and hamidp,

Thanks for the additional information. We've done some serious testing with Yosemite Developer Preview 6, and we've been unable to replicate the issue at all, including with clean installs on several hardware models. This leads us to believe it is a bug in Yosemite beta, rather than Viscosity itself (although we're not ruling anything out).

northisup, you mention in an earlier post that you are using Yosemite build 14A299l, which corresponds to Yosemite Public Beta 1. Do you have any better luck with Yosemite Public Beta 2 (14A329r) which has since been released? I'd also recommend submitting a bug report to Apple if you're continuing to see the issue with the latest public beta version.

If you have an Apple Developer Account I'd also recommend trying with the latest developer preview rather than the public beta.

Cheers,
James

As far as I can work out - Yosemite works fine with smartcards except for one small thing - akin to the issue that hampers OpenSC and SSH use:

http://sourceforge.net/p/opensc/mailman ... /32752270/

If I bin-edit the finish() call out - the VPN comes up fine.

James, if you have a debug build I'm willing to run it and get 'er working.

Hi James,

1. If you edit your connection and change the PKCS11 Retrieval option to "Prompt for certificate name" does Viscosity prompt for the name when you connect? If so, this indicates that the provider file is being added correctly by OpenVPN, however a device matching your entered PKCS11 certificate name was not found.
No, unfortunately, it doesn't. But if I pick "Use the certificate name bellow" and "Detect" I do have the list of certificates on my token.

2. If you're still stuck, how do you get on if you edit your connection in Viscosity and add "script-security 2" to the commands area under the Advanced tab, Save your changes, and then enable the "Allow unsafe OpenVPN commands to be used" option under Preferences->Advanced?
No more luck with this either. Here's the output:

What's strange is that I can definitely establish a connection using your Openvpn binary and this OpenSC library from the command line !

EDIT: Like hamidp I don't mind running some tests/debug version on my system if you need it.

Hi hamidp,

Are you running the latest Yosemite version (Public Beta 2, or Developer Preview 6)?

Hi crashdump,

dirkx's post above details what is going on, and a probable solution. Unfortunately it's up to OpenSC to fix/workaround this issue (assuming it doesn't turn out to be a bug in Yosemite's PCSC implementation).

The reason why it's working for detecting certificates from inside the editor (and when you're kicking off OpenVPN manually from the Terminal) is that it's running in your local user environment. For an actual connection Viscosity starts OpenVPN with elevated privileges and a secured environment (hence PKCS#11 providers are loaded in the same environment), and it appears OpenSC is failing under these conditions (as well as under other differing environments, such as via SSH).

Cheers,
James

On Yosemite Public Beta 2 and with the latest beta of Viscosity.

It looks that DNS settings are not applied for GUI applications. From terminal I'm able to ping names, but I can see DNS lookup errors in log when using for example web browsers. Only after manually configuring DNS resolver to network settings Safari starts to load up websites. This is a new issue with Yosemite, while it worked quite fine on Mavericks.
