 |
|
So I've been attempting to set up OpenVPN per the directions found at http://openvpn.net/howto.html and http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Road_Warriors_with_OpenVPN but I've been running into strange problems while attempting to generate keys for client computers.
| Code: | root@me easy-rsa # ./build-key nafferm
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
.........................++++++
...........................++++++
writing new private key to 'naffermob.key'

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [US]:
State or Province Name (full name) [State]:
Locality Name (eg, city) [City]:
Organization Name (eg, company) [Me]:
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) [My Unit]:
Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:Nafferm
Email Address [me@emails.net]:
Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:ar
[1]+ Stopped ./build-key nafferm |
Two charachters into typing a challenge password, the script just stops. I get dropped back down to the command line and the process hangs, leaving bash(7628)-+-build-key(7669)---openssl(7670)
Even if I get past that particular prompt, it still fails to complete the key generation. Any ideas? |

Hi,
I'M not entirely sure whats going on here but what I do find strange is the following:
You start a key build by issueing:
| Code: | | ./build-key naffrem |
But the script outputs:
| Code: | | writing new private key to 'naffermob.key' |
on line 4 of you're code snippet
Next on the last line of you're code snippet it says:
| Code: | | [1]+ Stopped ./build-key nafferm |
Seems to me there seems something funny going on with the keyname
