OpenVPN Client Export not usable if user certificates contain apostrophe (')

[undertaker]

I found an unusual situation where I created several user certificates without any special characters ("My Certificate", "His Certificate", etc) and was able to generate OpenVPN client export packages for Windows.  Woot! Woot!

The problem: I created a new user certificate described as "Jim's Certificate" and now I cannot see any of the users in the OpenVPN Client Export user list.

Workaround : I removed the offending user certificate and created a new one without the offending apostrophe.  I can now see all users with certificates in the Client Export user list.

I did not test to see if the same issue exists for apostrophes on the CA or other certificate descriptions.

It's probably a case of that needing to be escaped somewhere. I'll try to reproduce it, but you may just want to open a ticket at http://redmine.pfsense.org/

I think i've encountered the same error naming a client with the swedish letter "ö". My guess is that this goes for all three swedish letters: "å", "ä" and "ö".

That is a very different bug, which already has an open ticket.
