No more option to create a certificate on adding a new user

[pboe]

Hi,
on former versions of opnsense it was possible to create a client certificate once you added a new user.
On 25.1.1 the option is missing.
Documentation still has the checkbox to automatically create a certificate:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/user-local.html

Is this an bug or an outdated documentation and if the latter what's the new procedure to create a new OpenVPN user?

Best Regards,
Paul

outdated documentation, go out to the user list and one of the icon/actions is to create a cert for user

[pboe]

In the user list I have only icons for searching existing certificates and creatng an API Key which is not what i need.
The search icon is just a link to System->Trust->Certificates.

Hi pboe,

it took me many hours with questions in my head like "Am I so stupid or blind?" & "Have I broken my installation?".
After I saw your post, I was happy, I'm not alone! And I tried it again. ;)

After pressing "Search certificates by username" you have a new window with no certificates (its a new user). Simply press "+" to add a new cert.

This should probably mentioned somewhere.

have a nice day

Change "Search" to "Manage", maybe?

Yeah, that would probably help. After "search" I dont expect, that I can add a new one there. "manage" might be better because it implies editing.

yes super confusing.  also why get rid of create cert while making user?

this is a downgrade
