<![CDATA[Help with Command Line - Generate Internal CA]]>Hello,

I am totally new to pfSense and trying to automate as much as I can.

I need to "create an internal certificate"  and then within OpenVPN create a "Client Export" profile.

Basically -  I can do this via the GUI without issue, but I have around 1000 users dripping in over the next few weeks - and I don't want to spend all day in front of the screen.    And it has to be done this way as each device needs to have it's own certificate.

I want to be able to do this via command line.

Hopefully someone can help

Regards

Neil.

It may not be terribly hard to script for a one-off thing like you're doing, but making a more generally useful script that could be included in the firewall is much more difficult.

Even so that only gets you part way there as you'd still have to export them from the GUI, which is much more difficult to automate.
