I really could use some help and I'm hoping someone out there has done
what I need to do before and can clue me in.
All I am trying to do is use certificates with a VPN profile in the Cisco
VPN client. However any cert that I sign with OpenSSL is marked as an
"RA" cert by the Cisco VPN client and not useable in a profile. However
the Microsoft CA software signs the same cert is acceptable to the client
and the certificate signed by the Microsoft CA software is installed in
the "Cisco" store and thus useable by the client.
I tried making a new root certificate and manually setting the serial
number to 1 (instead of zero due to that issue about Cisco not thinking
zero is valid) but it didn't help.
I am getting pretty frustrated since Cisco doesn't support OpenSSL and
getting someone there with a clue has been fruitless. If someone has been
able to make this work (either generating the req yourself and signing it
or signing a req generated by the client) please contact me - I could
really use the help. I can provide sample certs that work and don't work
to see what the story is if that would help.
Thanks,
John
