Hi,
I think the easiest answer to my question is to use openssl commands from
the MS Windows command prompt to convert already created keys to pkcs#1
format in the following way.
from the folder where the certificates are stored issue:
c:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa\CertFolder> openssl rsa -in
<nameofserverkey>.key -outform pem > <nameofserverkey>.pem
c:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa\CertFolder> openssl rsa -in
<nameofclientkey>.key -outform pem > <nameofclientkey>.pem
Thanks

Hi,
is it at all possible to generate pkcs#1 keys in easy-rsa for MS Windows?
if so how do I do it?
I.e. keys with these headers:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
.
.
.
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
this is explained in my book, the OpenVPN 2 Cookbook.
Basically, when you install OpenVPN also install the easy-rsa scripts ;
that will give you a set of batch scripts that work almost the same as the
Linux versions. By editing vars.bat then run
vars.bat
clean-all.bat
build-ca.bat
build-key.bat
you will end up with a client (or server) key/cert pair , with the key in
PKCS#1 format.
