Creating a Certificate Authority and Server-Side Certificate & Key Configure and Build the Certificate Authority
cp -r /usr/share/easy-rsa/ /etc/openvpn mkdir /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys
vim /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars
Edit below to suite

export KEY_COUNTRY="US"
export KEY_PROVINCE="TX"
export KEY_CITY="Dallas"
export KEY_ORG="My Company Name"
export KEY_EMAIL="sammy@example.com"
export KEY_OU="MYOrganizationalUnit"

In the same vars file, also edit this one line shown below. For simplicity, we will use server as the key name. If you want to use a different name, you would also need to update the OpenVPN configuration files that reference server.key and server.crt.

export KEY_NAME="server"

We need to generate the Diffie-Hellman parameters; this can take several minutes.
