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?

TIA
