OpenVPN Support Forum

Hi.

I am trying to use OpenVPN Client 1.5.6 to connect to my company's OpenVPN implementation.

I try to import the following configuration file.

• client
  dev tun
  proto udp
  remote ###SvrIP#### ##Port##
  resolv-retry infinite
  nobind
  persist-key
  persist-tun
  ca CertRootFile
  cert UserCertificateFile
  key UserKeyFile
  comp-lzo
  verb 3

The certificate files are located in the same directory as the config file to import.

I am getting the following error.

AUTHRPC_ERRBACK: ParseClientProfile: multiline var 'ca' not closed out

Any ideas or suggestions are welcomed to clarify or address this error statement. To me the message is generally useless.

Hi all.

I obtained another instance of the ca certificate file and that resolved my problem.

Hi,

Just for those having this problem that arrive here like me.

Edit the -ca.crt file using notepad++ or similar
Place your cursor at the end of the last line of text and press enter.
Save and reload the .opvn

Some openVPN clients require a new line at the end of the file. Using Notepad++ you can see the line numbers.
there should be a line number next to a blank line at the end of the file
