No iOS subforum, so I am posting here. Sorry for that.

OpenVPN running on Synology DS211.
Using the OpenVPN 1.0 build 47 iOS app.

How do I specify the certificate in de ovpn file?

From the ovpn file:

Code: Select all

ca ca.crt

But then you get the following error opening the ovpn file in the iOS app:

Code: Select all

Missing/bad file : ca.crt : cannot op...

The certificate is imported succesfully on the iPhone but that does not help.

Apparently you have to use iTunes...

that's not right.
you can copy/paste the content of the crt file between html styled "ca" tags:
<ca>
CERT_FILE_CONTENT_COMES_HERE
</ca>

as it is described in the in-app-help

Note: I had to remove the line "reneg-sec 0" in the openvpn.ovpn file exportet by the webmanager.
