==Creating The Certificates==
 
Save all certificates in '''''/etc/openvpn/certs'''''
<pre>
This is a small RSA key management package,
based on the openssl command line tool, that
can be found in the easy-rsa subdirectory
of the OpenVPN distribution.
 
These are reference notes.  For step
by step instructions, see the HOWTO:
 
http://openvpn.net/howto.html
 
INSTALL
 
1. Edit vars.
2. Set KEY_CONFIG to point to the openssl.cnf file
  included in this distribution.
3. Set KEY_DIR to point to a directory which will
  contain all keys, certificates, etc.  This
  directory need not exist, and if it does,
  it will be deleted with rm -rf, so BE
  CAREFUL how you set KEY_DIR.
4. (Optional) Edit other fields in vars
  per your site data.  You may want to
  increase KEY_SIZE to 2048 if you are
  paranoid and don't mind slower key
  processing, but certainly 1024 is
  fine for testing purposes.  KEY_SIZE
  must be compatible across both peers
  participating in a secure SSL/TLS
  connection.
5  . vars
6. ./clean-all
7. As you create certificates, keys, and
  certificate signing requests, understand that
  only .key files should be kept confidential.
  .crt and .csr files can be sent over insecure
  channels such as plaintext email.
8. You should never need to copy a .key file
  between computers.  Normally each computer
  will have its own certificate/key pair.
 
BUILD YOUR OWN ROOT CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY (CA) CERTIFICATE/KEY
 
1. ./build-ca
2. ca.crt and ca.key will be built in your KEY_DIR
  directory
 
BUILD AN INTERMEDIATE CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY CERTIFICATE/KEY (optional)
 
1. ./build-inter inter
2. inter.crt and inter.key will be built in your KEY_DIR
  directory and signed with your root certificate.
 
BUILD DIFFIE-HELLMAN PARAMETERS (necessary for
the server end of a SSL/TLS connection).
 
1. ./build-dh
 
BUILD A CERTIFICATE SIGNING REQUEST (If
you want to sign your certificate with a root
certificate controlled by another individual
or organization, or residing on a different machine).
 
1. Get ca.crt (the root certificate) from your
  certificate authority.  Though this
  transfer can be over an insecure channel, to prevent
  man-in-the-middle attacks you must confirm that
  ca.crt was not tampered with.  Large CAs solve this
  problem by hardwiring their root certificates into
  popular web browsers.  A simple way to verify a root
  CA is to call the issuer on the telephone and confirm
  that the md5sum or sha1sum signatures on the ca.crt
  files match (such as with the command: "md5sum ca.crt").
2. Choose a name for your certificate such as your computer
  name.  In our example we will use "mycert".
3. ./build-req mycert
4. You can ignore most of the fields, but set
  "Common Name" to something unique such as your
  computer's host name.  Leave all password
  fields blank, unless you want your private key
  to be protected by password.  Using a password
  is not required -- it will make your key more secure
  but also more inconvenient to use, because you will
  need to supply your password anytime the key is used.
  NOTE: if you are using a password, use ./build-req-pass
  instead of ./build-req
5. Your key will be written to $KEY_DIR/mycert.key
6. Your certificate signing request will be written to
  to $KEY_DIR/mycert.csr
7. Email mycert.csr to the individual or organization
  which controls the root certificate.  This can be
  done over an insecure channel.
8. After the .csr file is signed by the root certificate
  authority, you will receive a file mycert.crt
  (your certificate).  Place mycert.crt in your
  KEY_DIR directory.
9. The combined files of mycert.crt, mycert.key,
  and ca.crt can now be used to secure one end of
  an SSL/TLS connection.
 
SIGN A CERTIFICATE SIGNING REQUEST
 
1. ./sign-req mycert
2. mycert.crt will be built in your KEY_DIR
  directory using mycert.csr and your root CA
  file as input.
 
BUILD AND SIGN A CERTIFICATE SIGNING REQUEST
USING A LOCALLY INSTALLED ROOT CERTIFICATE/KEY -- this
script generates and signs a certificate in one step,
but it requires that the generated certificate and private
key files be copied to the destination host over a
secure channel.
 
1. ./build-key mycert (no password protection)
2. OR ./build-key-pass mycert (with password protection)
3. OR ./build-key-pkcs12 mycert (PKCS #12 format)
4. OR ./build-key-server mycert (with nsCertType=server)
5. mycert.crt and mycert.key will be built in your
  KEY_DIR directory, and mycert.crt will be signed
  by your root CA. If ./build-key-pkcs12 was used a
  mycert.p12 file will also be created including the
  private key, certificate and the ca certificate.
 
IMPORTANT
 
To avoid a possible Man-in-the-Middle attack where an authorized
client tries to connect to another client by impersonating the
server, make sure to enforce some kind of server certificate
verification by clients.  There are currently four different ways
of accomplishing this, listed in the order of preference:
 
(1) Build your server certificates with the build-key-server
    script.  This will designate the certificate as a
    server-only certificate by setting nsCertType=server.
    Now add the following line to your client configuration:
 
    ns-cert-type server
 
    This will block clients from connecting to any
    server which lacks the nsCertType=server designation
    in its certificate, even if the certificate has been
    signed by the CA which is cited in the OpenVPN configuration
    file (--ca directive).
 
(2) Use the --tls-remote directive on the client to
    accept/reject the server connection based on the common
    name of the server certificate.
 
(3) Use a --tls-verify script or plugin to accept/reject the
    server connection based on a custom test of the server
    certificate's embedded X509 subject details.

    reference the server-signing CA while the server config "ca"
    directive should reference the client-signing CA.

As a user-space VPN daemon, OpenVPN is compatible with with SSL/TLS, RSA Certificates and X509 PKI, NAT, DHCP, and TUN/TAP virtual devices.

OpenVPN is not compatible with IPSec, IKE, PPTP, or L2TP.
