OpenVPN Client - VERIFY ERROR: depth=1, error=self signed certificate in certificate chain: CN=...

I have 2 OpenVPN servers up and running with multiple clients working. I'm trying to add a Fedora 25 client running openvpn:

Code: Select all

When I try to connect to my vpn with the same config and certs that work on Tunnlbrk and OpenVPN on iOS i get the following error:

Sat Jun 10 06:20:11 2017 VERIFY ERROR: depth=1, error=self signed certificate in certificate chain: CN=XXXXXX. Root CA, ST=Virginia, C=US, O=XXXXX, OU=PKI

The cert is valid, 2048 bit key size with sha256. Its the exact same certs as used on other clients. I tried adding the server's ca cert to /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors but with no luck. Running openssl check works. What am I missing?

Thanks
