Adding client keys after buildin for the first time

Post by outlander65 » Sat Aug 10, 2019 5:32 am

I have an OpenVPN server configured and running.
I also have two clients connected to the server.
Now I want to add 5 other client keys WITHOUT rebuilding the cert. How can I do that in WINDOWS OS?

How can I add new certificate files without losing the old ones?

thanks

Use easyrsa or easyrsa3
https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa/releases

None of your certificates are rebuilt.
