Bluid-ca does not generate any cert

Post by zx81 » Sun Apr 02, 2017 11:07 am

Hi

OpenVPN 2.3 (same after upgrade to 2.4), I have six certs generated and running fine but now I want generate a new one and don't know why the process stops after I introduce the email:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa>vars

C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa>build-ca TEST
WARNING: can't open config file: /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
.............................................++++++
................................................................................
......++++++
writing new private key to 'keys\ca.key'

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.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [ES]:
State or Province Name (full name) [MA]:
Locality Name (eg, city) [Madrid]:
Organization Name (eg, company) [COMPANY]:
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) [IT]:
Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) [HOSTNAME]:TEST
Name [HOSTNAME]:TEST
Email Address [soporte@test.com]:test@test.com

C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa>
Any hint?
