Copy and paste each in the appropriate area: # ca ca.crt # cert client.crt # key client.keyįinally, we are going to use inline references to the keys and certificates as opposed to packaging them up together. The second change is to comment out the lines referring to the location of the keys After the change, your file should like this: It needs to be changed to the RPi’s IP address or domain name if using a Dynamic DNS service. The first is the line that readsremote my-server-1 1194. There are only three changes (in bold) to make in this file. You can use the following commands to view the settings without all of the comments:Ĭat nf | grep -v "#" | tr -s '\n' cat nf | grep -v "#" | grep -v " " | tr -s '\n'

Basic understanding of Public Key Infrastructure.Familiarity with core networking concepts.Ability and confidence to enter commands in the Terminal, adjusting them to suit your enviornment, if necessary.Knowledge of basic computer terminology.Ability to naviagate throughout a computer OS.*If the Raspberry Pi is set up as a headless machine, you will not need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse–just another computer, which would be used to access it remotely over the network via SSH.
