Hello List, Trying to get openvpn working with certs. I was able to get the static keys working but not with SSL/TLS. I tried the instructions in the HOWTO on the openvpn site: http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/howto.html as well as these: http://mia.ece.uic.edu/~papers/volans/openvpn.html http://mia.ece.uic.edu/~papers/volans/settingupCA.html which are links at the openvpn site.
I also tried the certificates and the keys howto at the openssl site. http://www.openssl.org/docs/HOWTO/certificates.txt http://www.openssl.org/docs/HOWTO/keys.txt Also reviewed this one: http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/SSL-Certificates-HOWTO.html Why the difference in file names such as pem, crt, cert and key. I understand there are differences between the cert and the key but is there a difference between crt and cert or between key and pem? Following the HOWTO's on the openvpn site when I get to: openssl ca -out home.crt -in home.csr This is the error I am get: Certificate is to be certified until May 15 12:20:42 2007 GMT (1100 days) Sign the certificate? [y/n]:y failed to update database TXT_DB error number 2 firewall# Any ideas?
