The server certificate has expired

Post by emptness » Tue Mar 15, 2022 7:44 pm

Hello!
Certificates p.12 are issued for users, FreeBSD server, openssl 1.0 .
The openvpn server certificate ends on the server. Not to be confused with the root ca.crt.
What is the threat, will users be able to connect to the server using old certificates?
If you issue a new server certificate, then all the keys will have to be generated and configured by users again?

You can replace your old server certificate with a new one and everything should work as normal.

Use EasyRSA-3
