Trying to connect to my OpenVPN server with a .ovpn file. Connection works perfectly on Windows 10.
Copying the .ovpn file to Mac or iOS, I get the following error:
{'timestamp': 1567010788, 'type': 'FATAL', 'error': 'CERT_VERIFY_FAIL: mbed TLS: SSL read error : X509 - Certificate verification failed, e.g. CRL, CA or signature check failed'}
Using:
Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption
Subject Public Key Info:
Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption
Public-Key: (2048 bit)
Anyone else have this issue??

Re: Connection Error on Mac & iOS, Works on Windows
Probably the method that you used to copy the ovpn file has corrupted it somehow. I know linebreaks can be pretty annoying between certain operating systems. Are you copying the file as a file or are you copy/pasting the information somehow?
Please note you can just go to the OpenVPN Access Server web interface, log on as a user, and download the connection profile for that user (use the user-locked or auto-login type profile). You can do that straight from the macOS or iOS device.

Thanks - I was able to fix the issue by removing the following line from the client config file. I think this value has been depreciated.
ns-cert-type server
ns-cert-type server

I have no idea how that could be the issue. That's been there forever on Access Server, and we test our clients on Access Server. Everything I know says this can not be the problem/solution.

Looks like this might be a bug in Access Server after all. We'll investigate and resolve. In the meantime the solution is making sure that the bootstrap user actually exists.
