Creating 2nd batch of user keys

TheLeanMachine · Post by **TheLeanMachine** » Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:25 pm

I've been able to follow the directions at https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/w ... dows_Guide from a fresh installation and created 10 user keys.

What's not clear is the series of command line commands when I want to create 10 more on the server, and not mess up the first 10.

Can anyone shed some light on that sequence? Thanks!

you must run vars file then execute build-key script for generating new certs.

DO NOT RUN clean-all

All the command line activity looked like it was working, but the files created in the Keys folder don't have the common name, all I got was .crt, .csr, and .key with todays time stamp.

Can they just be renamed? Or am I missing a step?

Does either build-ca or build-key-server also need to be run first?

Looks like I can just rename them to the common name I used, seems to be working.

Thanks!
