Title: ca/vpn - importing .p12-file in osx 10.6 clients keychain
Post by: tustudium on January 17, 2011, 08:20:03 pm

dear zentyal-community,

i'm a beginner with vpn and just tried to set it up using the latest version of zentyal. on an osx 10.6 client, i could successfully import the certification authority certificate, but when attempting to import the "keys and cert for vpn"-package into the systems keychain, i get error messages.

i can import the "vpn-zentyal-cert.pem" but
"vpn-zentyal-private[public]-key.pem" files fail with the error

"the content of these objects cannot be retrieved" (self-translated from german).

and for the .p12-file i am asked for a password (i didn't supply one, what do i have to enter here?).

can anyone give me a hint what i did wrong? found nothing here on the forums.

thanks a lot in advance!

This is just a shot from the hip: I've imported the Zentyal certificates in both Firefox and IE. IE asked for a password, which was confusing as I didn't supply one. However, just pressing enter (in other words just a blank password) solved that particular peculiarity.

This has to do with OpenSSL and certificate conversion.
From http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/pkcs12.html:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in file.pem -out file.p12 -name "My Certificate"
I think this will get you started. You can google for it from here.
