Hi Admins,
Am new to this forum so please forgive me if any of my questions are wrong.
My Setup is like this:
Client: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
Open VPN version: 2.3.4
Server: Windows server 2008 R2 Datacenter 64-bit
Open VPN version: 2.3.4
Am stuck at the build-key command wizard which is giving me an error message - Can't open config file /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf and the cursor gets back to the prompt without any message.
I have already run the "init-config" and the "vars" file is ready.
How to overcome this SSL error ? If anyone has any guide or faced this issue before - Please share the steps in detail.
Once the client setup finishes, I will move to the configuration of server.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Neil

Re: openvpn 2.3.4 build-key Can't open file /etc/ssl/openssl
It looks like the easy-rsa scripts are not working as they should be in the current version of openvpn. Any script which I use throws me the same error of "Cant open file /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf".
At first even I was surprised with this UNIX directory structure in the script which is being used for windows configuration.
Please suggest if I can change any variable ?
Besides, I used the linux version of openvpn and created the client and server key and certificate files and imported them to the respective windows servers. But when I connect to the server, am getting the TLS key error waiting for 60 seconds.
I opened port forwarding on my cisco router and also enabled UDP port 1194 on both server side and client side.
Any suggestions.

Re: openvpn 2.3.4 build-key Can't open file /etc/ssl/openssl
I am trying to build a home network link to dd-wrt OpenVPN server. The only documentation for how to do this is before the introduction of this PKCS11. (http://www.howtogeek.com/64433/how-to-i ... rt-router/) I don't think this is even built into the dd-wrt OpenVPN server, or not to my knonwledge.
I do know the errors are constant when you set the two entries:
set KEY_NAME=
set KEY_OU=
Is the OpenVPN Server before this PKCS11 requirement still compatible with newer clients and visa versa?

Re: openvpn 2.3.4 build-key Can't open file /etc/ssl/openssl
I have also seen this on windows .. I copied the c:\program files\openvpn\bin\openssl.cnf file to c:\etc\ssl\openssl.cnf to resolve this particular problem. Although, that was only included in openvpn 2.2.2 as I recall.maikcat wrote:/etc/ssl path on windows???
@ donphillipe .. perhaps you could try that ^^ as well ..
