ESXi Virtual Appliance, Easy-RSA, and VPN on Demand for IOS

I've downloaded the ESXi Openvpn appliance and loaded it into one of my 5.1 servers. The appliance is version 1.8.4.400. I've setup the static IP, changed the name, and logged into the web admin UI successfully.

I've downloaded easy-rsa from github here: https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa. I've copied the contents over to /usr/share/openvpn_as/easy-rsa

I've been trying to follow any easy-rsa guides I could find. Like this one: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cr ... sa_Scripts

I've only got as far as cp -r /usr/share/openvpn_as/easy-rsa /root successfully.

I'm trying to create an OpenVPN server that utilizes easy-rsa and allows me to connect IOS devices to a corporate network using the VPN on demand feature. I started down this path after reading this: http://simonguest.com/2013/03/22/on-dem ... n-for-ios/

Can anyone suggest a setup document that would help me get the RSA server setup so I can continue with the next steps of the configuration? I've tried to use the HOWTO and different articles I stumbled across. It seems like all of the documents I've found pertain to Windows easy-rsa setups or the linux syntax doesn't match up (it may be that the articles assume a strong linux background as well.)

Failing that, does anyone know of any pay-for pre-built packages offered?
