OpenVPN Access Server Certificates

Post by cmthomps » Thu May 26, 2011 10:39 pm

I've successfully installed OpenVPN Access Server using one of the virtual appliances and can connect via a desktop pc using the OpenVPN client for windows. My question is now related to generating keys for other clients (specifically android). When I connected via my desktop, I did not have to have the client.crt/key installed. Does that get automatically generated when connecting with the client? Or, is there a different security mechanism in place for the Access Server. I tried to generate a client key using the certs in /usr/local/openvpn_as/etc/web-ssl, but I'm starting to think those are not the correct certs.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. B

TW - When I try to connect via Android, I see: TLS Error: cannot locate HMAC in incoming packet from ##.##.##.###:51651

The incoming HMAC error seems caused by a missing 'tls-auth' key.
However, this forum is for the community edition of OpenVPN only; Access Server has its own tech support, which can be found here: topic7036.html

Thank you. I didn't realize that Access Server wasn't part of community edition. I'll build up a new server from scratch with the community edition.
