Windows 11 - openssl-easyrsa.cnf not found in easy-rsa 3

valorisa34

Hello,

I'm having a trouble getting EasyRSA 3.0.8 working on Windows 11 dev channel (Windows Insider) with the command './easyrsa build-ca nopass'. This is OpenVPN-2.5.4-I604-amd64.msi from https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/

I follow this 'how to' (tuto) :
https://shebangthedolphins.net/vpn_openvpn_windows_server.html

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Common Name (eg: your user, host, or server name) [Easy-RSA CA]:DESKTOP-P2SN4KI

CA creation complete and you may now import and sign cert requests.
Your new CA certificate file for publishing is at:

Thanks in advance.

Do you know which version of Easy-RSA3 you have ?

Edit: OK Windows version.

I believe there is a known bug.

Not sure which one ..

This one may be ..

Have other people seen this same problem ?

TinCanTech

Did you read the links above ?

valorisa34

" Workaround: create a directory with no spaces in the name, eg. C:\temp
In EasyRSA vars use set_var EASYRSA_TEMP_DIR "/temp"
and run build-ca "

valorisa34

Within the EasyRSA Shell ?
Aand if so, how exactly do you do that ?

TinCanTech

You should try the other solution ....

Copy ALL of Easy-RSA to C:\EasyRSA3 and run it from there.

And don't do it from within Easy-RSA just use Windblows...

OK I try it and I tell you the result.

Folders and files copied from 'C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa' to 'C:\EasyRSA3' with the command ' C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa>cp -iRv * "C:\EasyRSA3" '. That's right ?
And now from cmd (with administrator rights) :
'cd c:\EayRSA3',
'EasyRSA-Start.bat' and follow the process.
'# ./easyrsa init-pki'
'# ./easyrsa build-ca nopass'
'# ./easyrsa build-server-full server nopass'
'# ./easyrsa gen-dh'

That's right ?
