Title: Import certificate (signed by CA) - unable to get local issuer certificate
Post by: zeropage on August 20, 2025, 05:04:58 PM
Hi their.

I operate my own CA, imported in OPNsense and would like to use a certificate for OpenVPN Server. I have taken the following steps:


Unfortunately, the list of certificates shows "self-signed" in the "Issuer" column instead of the name of my CA. I cannot select my CA in OPNsense, either when creating the CSR or when importing. The problem is becoming somewhat urgent because I only have 4 days left to replace the certificate that was imported in the same way 3 years ago with a new one. Thanks in advance!

Save the private key of the CSR. Then remove the CSR and import a new certificate by inserting the cert data and the private key.

Thank you, that helps me a lot.
