Title: OpenVPN Instances, Peer Certificate Authority
Post by: bobbyb84 on November 28, 2024, 01:42:13 PM
Hi,

I'm about to migrate my legacy server settings to the new instances setup.
My old setup is like. I have sever certificate signed by my own CA.
My clients are using a 3rd party certificate by companies PKI. In the legacy setting I can specify which CA to use to verify the client certificate with "Peer Certificate Authority".

I the new instances setup this configuration option is missing. I can not select which CA to use to verify the client certificates? How can I transfer the legacy setup to the new setup in those regards?

Thanks and Regards

Hi,
I came across this old topic from mine. Is there any update on this matter?

That worked in "Instances" from the start as far as I am aware, but I might not remember correctly. It definitely does now. See screen shot. Just make sure to toggle the little "advanced settings" switch on the top left.
