Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openvpn.html In following the instructions on setting up OpenVPN under Ubuntu, there's one step which is ambiguous. In the section titled "Client Certificates" it states : Copy the following files to the client: * /etc/openvpn/ca.crt * /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/hostname.crt * /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/hostname.key * /etc/openvpn/ta.key [Note] Remember to adjust the above file names for your client machine's hostname. The target location for these files is however ambiguous. Should they be copied to the client retaining the directory structure such that the client certs end up in /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/? Should they be copied into /etc/openvpn? I'm assuming from the instructions further down the page in the "Client Configuration" section which say : Now edit /etc/openvpn/client.conf changing the following options: dev tap remote vpn.example.com 1194 cert hostname.crt key hostname.key tls-auth ta.key 1 that these files should all be copied into /etc/openvpn/ regardless of their originating location in the directory structure. If this is the case it should be made more explicit / clear. ** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Ubuntu 10.04 > Ubuntu Server Guide > VPN > OpenVPN Client file copy step is ambiguous https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/674725 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
