      Hi jimp,

      I just created an internal crl using the internal ca of my pfsense box which is also used for my openvpn servers
      I gave it a name "CRL Openvpn" and left all other values at default (serial=0 ?)
      Then in the openvpn server config I tried to select it in the dropdown menu for crls. There are two items: one reads "none" and the other is just empty..
      Then I tried to export that crl, but it didn't do anything.
      Then I tried to delete it, but unfortunately this didn't work either :(

      Edit: maybe it's not working for me because I have the cert tags 2 times in my config..

      I will do as you suggested in my thread and delete them under system.. and try again

        The name should show up, but it won't work properly until you revoke at least one certificate.

        The code that checks that part may need a little TLC.

          Where in the gui would I revoke a certificate? After creating the crl there was no option in the crl tab, none in the certificates list and none when I edited a user with a certificate.
          In the CRL tab there is an edit button.. is it that one? A mouse-over shows "export crl" just like on the "download" button.
          When I click the "e" button, nothing happens..

            It should be the 'e', but it isn't working for me now either. Must be a change I forgot to check in. :-)

            I'll have a deeper look on Monday.

              Edit your config, do you have an "<crl>" tag? If so, remove it. Not sure how that might have gotten in there. I had one on one of my VMs also. Guess I need to add some code to check for that and fix/remove it.</crl>

                I just checked in a bunch of fixes for CRL management. Guess I couldn't wait until Monday :-)

                The case you were seeing should be fixed now.

                  When trying to import existing CRL, got error: "The following input errors were detected: * The field 'Certificate Revocation List data' is required.". Field CRL data, of course, was filled with data from valid CRL.

                  Tried that with the following snapshot:

                  2.0-BETA4 (i386)
                  built on Sun Nov 14 03:54:29 EST 2010

                    That should be working on the next snapshot, I just checked in a fix.

                      Hi Jimp,

                      In case you were asking me, yes I had a <crl>tag and I removed it after testing together with the certificate tags under the <system>tag (which didn't work btw as pfsense complained about syntax errors as soon as I removed the <crt>tags from <system>and tried to restore the edited config).

                      Thanks for the great work, I'm eager to try your new code but can't test it at the moment since I'm having this problem with newer snapshots (DIOCADDRULE device busy et.c).</system></crt></system></crl>

                        Ok, just tested it with newer build - CRL imported fine. Tried exporting CRL - 0-byte empty file was exported. The same result when trying to export pfSense-generated CRL.

                          Does your pfSense-generated CRL have any revoked certificates?

                          The imported one should have exported OK, but a pfSense generated CRL must have at least one revoked certificate before it exports OK. I guess the code still needs a few safety checks for that kind of thing.

                          I'll have a look sometime today.

                            CRL importing was still broken - should be fixed in newer snapshots.

                            I also disabled the download button for empty CRLs.

                              jimp: Yes, I had revoked certificates in my imported CRL file.
                              I may confirm that CRL importing/exporting is working fine with the Sun Nov 21 02:37:38 EST 2010 build.

                              Thanks!
