sys00005:/etc/openvpn# openssl verify \
	-CAfile cacerts/ianios_firewall_systeme-cacert.pem \
	-purpose sslserver -verbose \
	certs/ralf.koenig\@lrcsystem.de-cert.pem 
certs/ralf.koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: OK

I copy my certs vice versa to the nodes and check this with the running
openssl version. This is also ok.

Should the node, who is tls-client, have a certificate with sslclient
purpose? If i check with -purpose sslclient a get the described error
messages from openssl.

Frank.
