OVPN Inline vs External

[pvcflyer]

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, however here is my situation. I have a server setup on windows and a client that is an iPhone. When I use an OVPN file with externally referenced cert/key files the tunnel connects correctly. When I use an OVPN file with inline cert/key files the tunnel won't connect. Everything else about two OVPN files is identical.

I think this has something to do with the tls-crypt cert not working when it is included in the OVPN file, but does when it is referenced. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Follow up with some details from the server log (didn't think to check with my first post).

The above entries show up when trying to connect with the OVPN with inline cert/key files.

Looks like something is wrong with your client certificate.

If there was something wrong with any of the certificates why would they work when separated out of the OVPN file?

I made a new connection on my iPhone with all the files separately dumped in via iTunes and it works correctly. This is not ideal however because it makes setting up other iPhones (read not mine) impossible as there isn't a way to get the files to them individually.

I hope I am not over looking something simple.

Maybe line endings .. ? How did you create the Inline config ?

We really need configs and logs at --verb 4
