Looking at the batch script from easy-rsa:
@echo off
cd %HOME%
rem build a request for a cert that will be valid for ten years
openssl req -days 3650 -nodes -new -keyout %KEY_DIR%\%1.key -out %KEY_DIR%\%1.csr -config %KEY_CONFIG%
rem sign the cert request with our ca, creating a cert/key pair
openssl ca -days 3650 -out %KEY_DIR%\%1.crt -in %KEY_DIR%\%1.csr -config %KEY_CONFIG%
rem delete any .old files created in this process, to avoid future file creation errors
del /q %KEY_DIR%\*.old
It seems as though I could modify those openssl
commands to sign it for EST instead? Or maybe just five hours in the past? BTW, the time on my computer and my router (openvpn on dd-wrt on a tp-link) is the same.
