Trouble setting up OpenVPN client: "Unable to locate a CA for this certificate."

[Paul@networks-extra.com]

Hi all,

Hope all is well?

I'm trying to set up a new openvpn client connection from an .ovpn file I have (why can't we just import these yet....?) and struggling to get it to work - so any help would be much appreciated.

I have taken the "<ca>" cert block and set it up as a CA within System->Trust and also the "<cert>" block and set it up as a Certificate within the same section but when I go to set up the OpenVPN client instance and select the Certificate, I get an "Unable to locate a CA for this certificate." error.

I can confirm that the added CA under System->Trust shows certificates "0" which seems odd.

The .ovpn file works correctly elsewhere.

Thank you,
Paul

I am in the exact same boat. Anyone figured this one out please ?

@Paul, I solved this. Click on the "advanced mode" switch top left of the modal, and you will be able to choose the CA. It seems there is some kind of bug in the UI where the CA is expected as an input but is hidded in "standard mode"

Hope this helps
