broken easy rsa

[eels69]

i downloadet openvpn 2.2.1 and easy rsa drove me nearly mad everytime i generated client certs it said "failed to update database TXT_DB error number 2"
after some googling i found that with setting unique_subject = yes to no in index.txt.attr the error was gone. Then i thougt hm maybe some info is globaly shared so i get some kind of duplicate client certs so i used pkitools with --interact option and voila i saw it. Common name in batch mode is not changed.
It uses the common name from vars file. Is this now a error on my side or is pkitools broken?

What was your process for generating the client certs?

If your easy-rsa batch files are new and unmodified, you should be able to do all of these steps with no errors:

Code: Select all

Start->run->cmd
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\easy-rsa
vars
clean-all
build-ca
build-key-server server
build-key client1
build-key client2
build-key client3

[EDIT] Cancel what I just said. I updated my OpenVPN and now having major issues with easy-rsa. It seems very broken right now.
