MD5-Signed Certificate Warning with OpenVPN on iOS
As of version 1.2.8 of the OpenVPN app on iOS, OpenVPN issues the following warning: > WARN TLS: received certificate signed with MD5. > Please inform your admin to upgrade to a > stronger algori...
FYI, I documented the steps to required to replace the certificates here. Unfortunately it the steps are written for users of Windows, but it also uses mostly cross-platform OpenSource tools and explains what's going on so I think it should be pretty translatable if you don't have access to any Windows boxes.
Just posting this so you have at least one go-forward path.
Does anyone know if Netgear is issuing a fix for this before April 2018 EOL deadline or do I need to manually upgrade my certificate?
They have claimed that they will elsewhere in the forums. Based on their ability to deliver fixes for other critical product issues, I would be skeptical.
Fingers crossed but if they don't deliver close to the deadline, I'll install the certificate. Hopefully it doesn't get to that. Thanks for your writeup, I might have to go your route with some slight tweaks for Mac but it should be siimilar.
- For macOS, (1) the installation of OpenVPN, Easy-RSA and telnet will be different and (2) the Easy-RSA template files will live somewhere else, but otherwise everything else should be the same.
