Problem generating certificates and keys

Post by Bikerznet » Fri Sep 21, 2012 4:14 pm

I have tried to do this several time but no luck I am getting the following error on my Linux box:

./build-ca
grep: /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/openssl.cnf: No such file or directory
pkitool: KEY_CONFIG (set by the ./vars script) is pointing to the wrong
version of openssl.cnf: /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/openssl.cnf
The correct version should have a comment that says: easy-rsa version 2.x

Any ideas? There seems to be lots of post about this issue on various website but I am yet to find a resolution that actually works!

HELP!!!!!

Sorted!

Just needed to create a symbolic link from openssl.cnf to openssl-1.0.0.cnf and it all worked OK :mrgreen:

Hi, did you run the vars script before trying that?

# source vars
