Error rendering cert

[pkfox]

Hi all, I know its been asked before but has anyone come up with a fix for this error, I only see it in the logs of Android clients so think its specific to Android. I use the same ovpn file in windows and iPhone clients and all is fine. If you do away with ta.key and tsl-auth it goes away but then its less secure. Hope this makes sense. Everything works OK but I would like to know how secure I am ( or not ).

Using --tls-auth is strongly recommended .. running without it to fix an error is not a suitable solution.

I believe you need to import your client file for android with inline cert/keys using unix style newline
not windows CR-LF ..

Hi , I would never run it without tsl I just read somewhere that the error goes away if you remove it.

My client file was created in Linux with all the keys in the ovpn, I've also tried referencing the ta.key file from the ovpn but still the error is there

Please post configs and logs .. perhaps we can identify the problem.

What does your client log show .. please use verb 4 in your client.

Probably not a good idea to post entire PKI details ..

Can't find a log file on the client , you can only view it via the app and there's no way of copying it to the clipboard.
