[Openvpn-users] Problem with TLS

Hi,

i am trying to set up OpenVPN, i have problems with TLS.

I tried to establish an OpenVPN using the provided certificates in the 
sample-keys directory, that works so i am sure, that everything is setup ok.

With my own certificates, the client accepts the servers certificate:

Tue Feb  3 09:57:31 2004 125[1]: VERIFY OK: 
depth=2, /C=DE/L=Tuebingen/O=None/OU=None/CN=Root.Patty.TestCA
Tue Feb  3 09:57:31 2004 126[1]: VERIFY OK: 
depth=1, /C=DE/L=Tuebingen/O=None/OU=None/CN=ServerCerts.Patty.TestCA
Tue Feb  3 09:57:31 2004 127[1]: VERIFY OK: 
depth=0, /C=DE/CN=patty-server.homeip.net/emailAddress=pattyh@xxxxxxx

But the server rejects the clients certificate, although it has the same CA 
certificates PEM file:

Tue Feb  3 09:57:11 2004 124[1]: VERIFY ERROR: depth=1, error=invalid CA 
certificate: /C=DE/L=Tuebingen/O=None/OU=None/CN=EmailCerts.Patty.TestCA

I used pyca to setup my CA and it works for Apache Server/Client 
Authentication, the setup is the following:

RootCA (signs other CA certificates)

EmailCerts CA,  Server Certs CA  (sign CSRs)

the server uses a certificate signed by Server Certs CA, the client one signed 
by EmailCerts CA.

using openssl verify ... both certificates verify OK! 

I have tried to sign my client certificate with the Server Certs CA, but the 
result is the same (invalid CA certificate: ...)

Any idea, what might be the problem, do i need to set some nsCertType 
parameters for my client certificates???

Thanks for any help,

Patty
