Hi,
I follow the tutorial
/how-to-set-up-and-configure-an-openvpn-server-on-centos-7 to configure the server CentOS7 OpenVPN 2.4.7. All worked fine from server config.
Then, I tried to configure a client CentOS6 OpenVPN 2.4.7 (same ver), but when I run the command:
openvpn --config myclient.conf
In my case, I didn't use client.conf generic name, but a specific client, because it will be many different clients.
it arises the messages below, with this "WARNING: Your certificate is not yet valid!"
Where is the log files from server and from client to better discover what is the problem?
I think the problem is the way I created the client certificate. I use the Common Name = complete DNS name myclient.mydomain, and Name = myclient.
