Description

Doing the following steps

  1. Creating an external CA.
  2. Adding that CAs cert to Pfsense.
  3. Creating a certificate signing request in Pfsense.
  4. Signing the request using the CA.
  5. Adding the signed cert to Pfsense.

The issuer is now shown as external for the signed cert in the cert manager.

This becomes a problem if using these certs for OpenVPN. Either as server or user cert.
When trying to export the client configuration using the "OpenVPN Client Export Utility" it fails to find the CA correctly.

Yes this could be considered a bug with the "OpenVPN Client Export Utility" package.
But feel that given that Pfsense has the CA that signed the cert it should be able to correctly show it as issuer.

I did some searching in the issue tracker and found bug #5313 which is similar to this.
