Re: [Openvpn-users] Change OpenVPN server, can I use the same client configurations?

["Steve Matheson" <smatheson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Charles and Eero for responding so quickly.  Right you are, once I
copied over the network settings, installed openvpn, it was just a matter of
copying these files:

scp /etc/openvpn/ca.crt <newsysname>:/etc/openvpn
scp /etc/openvpn/server.* <newsysname>:/etc/openvpn
scp /etc/openvpn/dh1024.pem <newsysname>:/etc/openvpn

Yup... it works!

Of course, I would also like to use this new system to make new client keys.

scp -r /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/keys
<newsysname>:/usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/keys

On the new machine:

# cd /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa
# . ./vars
# ./build-key SampleClient
./build-key: line 15: openssl: command not found

# apt-get install openssl

# ./build-key SampleClient
error on line -1 of /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/openssl.cnf
763:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or
directory:bss_file.c:104:fopen('/usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/ope
nssl.cnf','rb')

763:error:0E064072:configuration file routines:CONF_load:no such

Hmmm... what did I miss here?

The reason there's no HOWTO is that there's really nothing to it: Copy 
over the files with your configuration and keys; make sure your firewall 
does what it needs to; and there you are. Remote clients will 
renegotiate their sessions after the switchover, and otherwise continue 
as they were.
