Connecting a chromebook built in client to .ovpn file
ok, hopefully I'm posting this In the right place I have a .OVPN on a windows machine, and I needed to split the files for chrome os. I successfully extracted the ca, but the other two I cant get right. how do I get a valid user certificate for chrome os from a .OVPN file? I'm new, and will probably need a dumbed-down step by step.

windows will
1) apply the file to my windows ovpn client
or
2) open in Firefox
I can try to open it in notepad in the original format, but i figured adding a .txt to the end wouldn't screw things up

tried again, with notepad++, coppied everything between the keys including the keys, and then deleted them, then openssl emitted this error (all names are correct)

EDIT: THIS IS WAS BEACAUSE I FROGOT TO REMOVE THE <CERT> flags, I fixed this and got the same error I have been getting from the start: chrome os states its an "- invalid or corrupt file"

Re: Connecting a chromebook built in client to .ovpn file
Alright, I have found the issue
Linux and windows store the enter/new line the client needs at the end of the client.crt differently, I booted up in ubuntu core and did the same thing i did on windows and it functioned
