Hi Michael,

With the small changes I made it now successfully built and also after installing in a vm it has built the x509 certificate set.

I suspect successfully as I didn't change any of the changes you made to the ovpnmain.cgi or the openvpn-crl-updater.

The minor changes I made, compared to the existing openvpn lfs and rootfile are the following

So I think we are close to having it working.

I will create an OpenVPN Roadwarrior connection with the x509 certificate set that has been created to confirm that it is all working properly now.


Regards,

Adolf.
