Keeps prompting for `source vars'

Post by c17 » Thu Mar 17, 2016 8:52 am

Hello,

I'm trying to generate keys using easy-rsa scripts, after sourcing a vars file, I'm still getting a message
Please edit the vars script to reflect your configuration,
then source it with "source ./vars"
when running `sudo ./build-ca' and I can't proceed further.

How can I troubleshoot this issue?

The issue was, that I sourced vars file under regular user and variables were unvisible for root.
Sorry about that :lol:

Thanks for letting us know your solution 8-)

FYI: You do not need to run easyrsa as root ..
