Description
Hi!
Maybe you guys want to know about this one. First post for me to this bugtracker. Hope I'm doing things right here.
Using the character "¤" in OpenVPN password field creates invalid config.xml
(¤)
Error messages produced:

Heads up is that the OpenVPN client#.conf and related files are created /var/etc/openvpn and used by the OpenVPN, so you got a connection which is active without seening it under OpenVPN/Client or Status/OpenVPN.
Skipping the odd character does make it work as it should.
Made a post in the forum first.
