      I change our CA for our OpenVPN Clients. We manage our PKI outside of PfSense and import the Certificates through the Cert Manager. To migrate the Clients step by step i like OpenVPN to accept Clients with Certificates from multiple Certificate Authorities. This is supported by OpenVPN through concatenated PEMs in a File which is referenced by the ca Config Option.

      At the Webinterface of pfSense only a Drop-Down List at Peer Certificate Authority is available.

      I patched vpn_openvpn_server.php and openvpn.inc to not overwrite the ca File.

      It would be nice, if the Webinterface of pfSense supports multiple Peer Certificate Authorities.

      I search at redmine, but can not find such a feature Request.

        Export both CAs certs, then import them as a new single CA with both PEMs included in the import box.

          Too easy  ;)

          Tested and fine.

          Could this be documented in the Wiki?
