if you have revoked say "openssl revoke usercert.pem"

and then do indeed want to regrant access to this user, can you recreate
the user using the same name?

./build-key-pass usercert

?  other thing, i have pem files in my key out directory, as set up in
the vars script in easy-rsa, but they are just numbers.  01.pem 02.pem 
so when i revoke someone, do i have to look through the pem files to
find the correct user, or can i use the name of their .crt or .key file?

if i do   ./build-key-pass testuser, i get 0x.pem, testuser.crt
testuser.key and testuser.csr  will "openssl revoke testuser.crt" work?

TIA,

Aaron Martinez
