Error when creating OpenVPN setup via Wizard

rayrayrayraydog

I'm using pfSense PLUS 23.09.1-RELEASE and I've been having trouble connecting VPN clients, I think since the last release, but not exactly sure. I wanted to start completely over, so I deleted the OpenVPN config and went through the Wizard setup at VPN \ OpenVPN \ Wizards. Once I got to the last page and hit Finish, I got the error below and the OpenVPN config was never created. Has anyone else seen this?

@rayrayrayraydog
Did you enter a shared key with special characters?
If so try simple ASCII characters and change it later in the server settings.

@viragomann I finally got it to work. It's something to do with the server certificate I had selected to use which was self-signed. I chose another and the wizard worked.
