[Openvpn-users] Extra prompts

["John E. Peterson" <john.peterson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Commnents regarding the documentation:

A couple of things could be defined better in the build-key section.  The 
first is the prompt for "Common Name".  This should be "client01" for my 
first client?  Or should it say "server" as the prompt says?  Not knowing 
the PURPOSE of this is the problem I guess.  Is it to advertise who you are?

There are "Extra Attributes" not mentioned in the doc.  And these APPEAR 
important, but I left blank since they aren't mentioned.  "Challenge 
Password" and "Optional Company Name".

The next question has to do with "Common Name" stuff.  When generating the 
ca certificate, I am asked for a name such as server name.  A later prompt 
(the build-key server) says that this should be entered as "server".  This 
seems like a conflict?  Once again, what is this used for?  Is the name 
"server" actually important?  I used "Omnitech-US" for the first time, then 
when I did the keys I used "server" as I was told and it all works.
