      Hi everyone,

      I am migrating my actual pfSense 2.3 (1 node) to a new cluster (2 nodes).

      I have done a configuration backup of the pfSense in production and a configuration restore in the new pfSense cluster, and I have adapted it later.

      Well, because I have added and removed Users (with Certificates) to use with OpenVPN I need transfer this modifications to the new cluster, but if I transfer the complete configuration backup I have to adapt all this config again.

      Can I export only the Users and his Certificates and restore them into the new cluster without the need of adapt all the config again?

      Regards,

      Ramsés

          @viktor_g thanks so much by your answer.

          But isn't implemented yet?

          I don't want only the Certificates, I want the Certificates and the Local User Database.

          I can do a complete configuration backup or only some section.

          What section will include that I want?

          Regards,

          Ramsés

            @viktor_g, the only solution is?

            pfSense-01:

            • Export the Certificate and the Key.

            pfSense-02:

            • Import the Certificate and the Key exported.
            • Create a new User identical to the User in the pfSense-01.
            • To edit the new User and select to use the Certificate imported.

            It's right?

            The problem is the password of the new User, isn't it?

            Regards,

            Ramsés
