      Hi
      I am using pfsense RC 2
      I have made a opevpn client poit-to-point using a certificate and private key for clients. When I use the cert manager no problem all function. I need to modify the key and cert in the /conf/config.xml of the vpn that I am using and reboot then I have to run with new cerficate. But in the log i see this error.

      openvpn[57589]: Cannot load certificate file /var/etc/openvpn/client1.cert: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line: error:140AD009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file:PEM lib

      Thanks in advance

        If you have a new key and an new cert then import these in SYSTEM -> Cert Manager
        After that modify your OpenVPN server to use the new certs. That's all. No reboot needed.

        ADVICE: Please update your old pfsense version to pfsense 2.0.1. It does not make sense to discuss about problems with old versions.
