Cannot save my file when using cryptoapicert due to format.

[helloworld]

Hi

I was trying to use cryptoapicert "THUMB ....." to replace my cert and key with windows generated certificate.

However, I cannot save my file with error msg.


Pls advise.
Thanks.

get a real os?

[helloworld]

Yes. Using Windows 7.

[krzee]

exactly!
your error is in notepad, not openvpn

[helloworld]

So how can I solve this error?

I cannot save the file in ANSI format as the thumbprint is in unicode format.
But if i save the text file in unicode format, OpenVPN cannot run successfully.
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in client.ovpn:1: ÿþc (2.2.2)

a certificate thumbprint is NOT in Unicode format; instead it should look a bit like this

Code: Select all

THUMB:02:fa:3d:45

etc...
