[Resolved] OpenVPN Server Error

[Gabu]

Hello there!
.
When I try to create a VPN server on eBox, I receive the following message:

A really nasty bug has occurred
Exception
Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference
Trace
Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/OpenVPN/Model/Servers.pm line 383.

.
Where /usr/share/perl5/EBox/OpenVPN/Model/Servers.pm is:

378  # Create server certificate
379  my $ca = EBox::Global->modInstance('ca');
380  my $certName = "vpn-$name";
381  my @certs = @{$ca->listCertificates()};
382  unless (List::Util::first { $_->{dn}->{commonName} eq $certName } @certs ) {
383    my $caExpiration = $ca->getCACertificateMetadata()->{expiryDate};
384    $ca->issueCertificate(commonName => $certName , endDate => $caExpiration);
385  }

.
And when I enable the OpenVPN module and save changes:

Some modules reported error when saving changes . More information on the logs in /var/log/ebox/
The following modules failed while saving their changes

.
I'm using eBox 1.5 over Ubuntu 10.04, but I had the same problem in eBox 1.4.4 over Ubuntu 8.04.

Thanks in advice...

Hi Gabriel,

I'm afraid to tell you that you hit a bug in ebox-ca package. I think you have entered non-ASCII characters in your CA certificate creation, am I right? If so, you must remove the current CA by removing /var/lib/ebox/CA directory. Then recreate the CA without non-ASCII characters.

I hope this helps you to set up a VPN server.

Best regards,

Hey, sixstone!

I installed again version 1.4 to ensure stability.
And yes, you were right.
On "city" I typed "São Paulo".
Changing this information for "Sao Paulo" worked perfectly.

Thank you for your help.

Best Regards
