rror loading extension section req-extra
Posted: Fri Dec 27, 2013 10:25 pm
Right now I am trying to get OpenVPN 2.3.2 installed on a server (win xp) and a client (win 8). The server used to run an older version of Openvpn 2.0 (maybe 2.1).
On a separate system, in openvpndir1, I have all the openvpn and rsafiles, I have created the ca key - that seemed to go without a problem.
In a separate directory, i.e. openvpndir2, dup of openvpndir 1 (without pki) , I can do an init-pki. When I do the gen-req, it asks for the passkey and common name. On entering the common name (either by default or retyping it) I'm getting "error loading extension section req-extra. (I'm just doing the basic ./easyrsa gen-req <entityname>. I have also tried this under the directory with the ca pki, same result.
On the system I am working on, I still have the older vpn service running, is that an issue? (don't want to break something that is working....)
