      Hello,

      We are planning on moving away from OpenVPN standalone selfhosted server and move to pfSense+ with OpenVPN integration.
      Is it possible to migrate the certificates and clients from one medium to the other?
      It would be a pain to do all of them manually since there are over 300 clients.

      Cheers!

        It should be be possible to import all clients certs at one blow if you have all in a single file. However, if you use user authentication as well you will have to create the users manually and assign the proper cert to each.

          @viragomann Unfortunetly we use user authentification in the current OpenVPN Access Server.

            And in your current setup you have all users created on the OpenVPN server locally?
            So for 300 users it would be wise to authenticate them via an authentication server (LDAP, RADIUS).

              What do you mean by created locally?
              Users connect to the VPN server via Windows clients (Windows PCs are in the same Domain).

                On your current server.
                If it you use user authentication + SSL certs, the usernames and secrets have to be stored anywhere on the server.

                  Yes, the users are already created on the current server.
