Hello,

I want to revoke the openvpn certificate and keys of a client from the server and want to generate certifacates by the same client name again so that the previously registered, in such a way that the keys and certificates generated previously will become useless and no body could use those keys.

Thank you for the fast reply :)
I have already visited How To page. I was thinking that after revoking a client can we register the client again with the same name so that previous certificates and keys will become useless. For that shall i need to remove the client.crt, client.csr and client.key files from the key directory. And shall i update the index.txt file also before building keys by same name "client" again.

What shall i do. Please tell me
