OpenVPN - Generating certificate authority stucks

Dan · February 13, 2018, 7:10pm

The certificate generation process has been stuck for days. Is there any way to terminate it manually?

I was able to solve the problem myself. After I found the reference to the OpenVPN folder in the code, I just deleted it.

After rebooting, I was able to restart the certificate generation process. The folder was then rebuilt and the certificate was created within minutes.

I meet similar trouble. Do you think /etc/ssl/ca/openvpn/* or /etc/dhparam/dh-default.pem?

Just delete everything within /etc/ssl/ca/openvpn/.

Hi!

I wrote a couple of comments how I escaped the “hell of ca-generation” and succesfully configured OpenVPN on my Turris Omnia in another discussion thread:
