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). - Lastly, generate Diffie Hellman parameters:
./easyrsa gen-dh
