 Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 7:02 pm Post subject: [Solved] Adding Clients To OpenVPN |
 |
|
I have been trying to figure this out for a while now. Googled and searched and never found what I was looking for. I guess the real problem is I don't really understand the certificates and how they are made. Could anyone explain how to add more clients to an existing OpenVPN setup? Or point me in the right direction. I really do want to understand this.
Thank you,
Duck man

in cd /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa/ or where-ever you have copied it.
edit vars file (you probably have already done this so go ahead and "enable it" with the source command.
#source ./vars
#./build-key clientname //follow instructions and copy the generated files to where your other client keys and crts are.
Each client you connect need 3 files:
ca.crt
clientname.crt
clientname.key
ca.crt is the same for every client.
OpenVPN has an official howto that explains this. Google (or whatever search engine you prefer): openvpn howto |
