Is there Automatic certification file exchange ?

Post by nash » Sat Feb 26, 2011 4:19 am

In order to make it simple, I use user/pass authentication with no client certification. But I have to copy the ca file from the server to client manually anyway. It'll be great if it need only the open vpn client and the user/pass to connect to the server.

Is there a way to let open vpn exchange the certification stuff instead of manually copying it ?

Regards,
Nash

no that is not possible, as it would be a gross violation of security: there'd be no way of knowing if the server you're connecting to really is the server you think it is.
