Build-key-pass in windows

running

Hello , i am string to run the build-key-pass.bat in windows. It is not in the easy-rsa folder and i have looked everywhere to get it. The only one there is build-key.bat

It is not there in ovpn 2.1

Can someone help me to create one please? ;D

This is not a pfSense-question.
Please read inthe openVPN documentation:

I assure you i did! I have also look everywhere on the web with no answer.

Nobody is providing an answer on the Ovpn sites since they usually run everything from BSD/Linux and figured that one of you expert could help!

Copy the build-key.bat script to build-key-pass.bat and remove the -nodes option in the copy (-nodes instructs openssl not to encrypt the secret key).

Thank you KPA for the responce, but it is not working :'(
Here is what i get after i do it. I am able to generate a NON encrypted file witout problem!

Remember to run vars.bat everytime before generating any keys.

Thank you! ;D
Not so good with all that code…

It created 3 files test.crt
test.csr
test.key

All normal?

What is the csr for anyway?

I will try it later and let you know

Thank you very mutch
