Re: [Openvpn-users] revocation

[Christian Fernandez <cfernandez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bump! can someone take a look please? I have look all over google for a
FAQ of errors or things related to revocation
and for my surprise there is almost no documentation about it.. 10 lines
in the howto and almost no mention anywhere...
and I need to reboke a kee before my boss start asking questions about
why this software is obscure and have another excuse to tell me that OSS
is complicated when is not, is jsut sometimes we have to do things we
are not familiar, like in my case revocation, I can setup all types of
vpn's pptp, ipsec create and revoke there but in openvpn I can do mostly
anything by now but never had to revoke under it so I am a noob in
issues related to it. and usually when things are not in production I
will test things and figure out in my own, but I cant just do that here.
