CRL Error

Post by Harmanogo » Wed Dec 13, 2023 7:11 pm

Hi All,
I am getting an error I have seen before in a few posts but I can't figure out why it is happening to me.
The error is "Failed to stat CRL file, not reloading CRL."
My entire OpenVPN configuration files are in /usr/local/etc/openvpn. The service runs as the user openvpn.
Everything recursively in the /usr/local/etc/openvpn directory is owned by the user openvpn.
When a new user logs on, the error comes up but when I restart the openvpn service, the logs shows
CRL: loaded 1 CRLs from file /usr/local/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki/crl.pem so the service is seeing the file. No idea why I see that error
when a new user logs in.

The permissions on the file /usr/local/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki/crl.pem is

-rw-rw---- 1 openvpn wheel 971 Dec 12 15:59 /usr/local/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki/crl.pem

Any ideas on why I am seeing this error?
