How do I clear this error?

Hi,
What were you doing while obtaining this error ?

As it says : the openssl libs was reading a PEM file and it's format wasn't valid : the starting line wasn't found.
PEM files start with a line like :-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- .... -
I am trying to build a VPN. I successfully built a CA certificate and a server certificate but when I try to build a user certificate, I get several of these errors. I believe that I have filled out the data form correctly so I don't know what the problem is.
-
Where exactly are you seeing this error, and how exactly are you creating this user cert..
Your here, using your recently created CA?
Can you post some screenshots of exactly what your doing and this error?

I have solved the problem. Thank you for trying to help me. I am now progressing further in my attempt to build a VPN
-
Would be nice if you posted what was wrong, how you fixed, etc. for the next guy that might find this thread.

I don't want to post any further information at this time because I am still confused and I don't have the VPN successfully running yet so I don't want to mislead anybody. However, I did fix the certificate problem by watching a "Crosstalk" video on Youtube which helped me straighten out certificate configuration problems. I'll post further info when I improve my understanding. I'm still very new at VPN creation/problems so I expect more problems to come.
I have more questions at this time but don't know how to express them yet. Thanks for the interest in helping me.

VPN has zero to do with creation of a user cert in the CA manager.. Was that where you were seeing the error, or something else you were doing?

I am trying to create a VPN but couldn't get past the certificate creation stage. The video by "Crosstalk" got me past that. So I have gotten further along now but am stuck with new problems. VPN still not working. I don't know how to formulate questions yet. More info/questions to come.

Although I have not gotten my VPN to work yet, the youtube video "pfSenseBasics - Remote User VPN" has been very helpful for doing the VPN configuration.
