[Solved] Cannot create client certificate
Posted: Sat Mar 17, 2018 3:35 pm
Hello everyone,
I use Windows 7. Installed the easy-rsa tools, created ca, server and client certificate, DH, etc., everything as it is described in these how tos https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sour ... o.html#pki.
However now (after some time before the first creation) I would need to create another client certificate (to add new client to the VPN) and this doesn't work. I have all certificates stored in the 'keys' folder in easy-rsa (ca, server cert., etc.), but when starting the cmd as administrator and writing build-key client2 (I haven't entered all the previous steps as I already have the ca and server cert. created), it gives me the below messages:
Any idea what the issue is and how can I avoid this and create a new client certificate, please?
Thanks.
