Step 3: generating certificates and keys
- Now we can start generating the certificates and keys. Begin with the certificate authority (CA) - the root certificate file that will be used to sign other certificates and keys:
./easyrsa build-ca nopass
- Next, build the server certificate and key:
./easyrsa build-server-full server nopass
- Next, build certificates and keys for the clients:
./easyrsa build-client-full Client1 nopass
Note: replace Client1 with this client's Common Name (CN). Omit "nopass" and you will be prompted to choose the client's password. - Lastly, generate Diffie Hellman parameters:
./easyrsa gen-dh
The generated and signed files should appear in the following directories (by default):
| File(s) | Location | |
|---|---|---|
| CA certificate | → | C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa\pki |
| Diffie-Hellman parameters | → | C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa\pki |
| Client and Server keys | → | C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa\pki\private |
| Client and Server certificates | → | C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa\pki\issued |
