    Hi , im using pfsense v1.2.3 and try to make openvpn .Found some tutorials and followed them . First when i copy certificate it gives me error sertificate is not valid.  I manually wrote RSA in –-BEGIN PRIVATE KEY---- and so on and  all went good. So i finally set up openvpn but whe i try to log connection fails. When enter in sys logs>openvpn see this  :

        One or more certificates weren't generated correctly. Upgrade to 2.x and use the built-in cert manager, it's much, much easier to generate certs with.
