      Hi everyone,

      I need your help becouse the client export utility don´t work.  I tried two pfsense version 2.3.2 (remote office) and 2.3.1 (local office) and the problem is the same. Is a new install.

      I created the VPN manually and using the wizard but when trying to export the VPN none appears for download. Perform the test from different browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome) and the problem is the same.

      re-install the package … I've done many things but I see no solution to the problem.

      I appreciate the help you can give me.

      PD. (Similar to topic https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=109896.0)

      Jhon.

            This looks all right so far.
            And you have also created a user certificate from the same CA and assigned it to an user?

              It lacked create the group and user (system> user manager) and during the process enable checbox "Click to create user certificate".

              No more configuration changes and reviewing the export vpn module and can make the download is done.

              Thanks everyone for your help!!!  ;D ;D ;D

                you do not need to create a user or group to have the export available for the export util.  Just need a user cert created by that ca..

                see I created a user cert using the CA that my openvpn server is using.  Bing bang zoom its available for export in the export util
