iOS Missing/bad file : ca.crt : cannot op...

Post by kraades » Fri Jan 18, 2013 9:26 pm

No iOS subforum, so I am posting here. Sorry for that.

OpenVPN running on Synology DS211.
Using the OpenVPN 1.0 build 47 iOS app.

How do I specify the certificate in de ovpn file?

From the ovpn file:

Code: Select all

ca ca.crt
But then you get the following error opening the ovpn file in the iOS app:

Code: Select all

Missing/bad file : ca.crt : cannot op...
The certificate is imported succesfully on the iPhone but that does not help.
(Visible in Settings, General, Profile as Trusted)

Apparently you have to use iTunes...

that's not right.
you can copy/paste the content of the crt file between html styled "ca" tags:
<ca>
CERT_FILE_CONTENT_COMES_HERE
</ca>

as it is described in the in-app-help :-D

Note: I had to remove the line "reneg-sec 0" in the openvpn.ovpn file exportet by the webmanager.
