Default variable has no value:/usr/src/lib/libcrypto/conf/conf_def.c:563:line 3

Hi,

I have installed the latest version of OpenBSD 6.1 and tried to install OpenVPN on it. When I run the command ./easyrsa init-pki it triggers the following error

Code:
variable has no value:/usr/src/lib/libcrypto/conf/conf_def.c:563:line 3
I'm using easyrsa3.

What should I do to get rid of this error and install OpenVPN successfully on my latest OpenBSD firewall?

Thanks

I'll guess that you have an error in your OpenSSL configuration file, as that particular library module which produced the error is used to parse OpenSSL configuration files.

Disclaimer: I am not an openvpn user.

I am unable to recreate your problem with the example configuration supplied in the easy-rsa package. I installed both the openvpn and the easy-rsa packages on a 6.1 test system, and obtained the following results.
Code:
$ pwd
/usr/local/share/easy-rsa
$ ls
COPYING              README.quickstart.md easyrsa              openssl-1.0.cnf      x509-types
ChangeLog            doc                  gpl-2.0.txt          vars.example
$ ./easyrsa init-pki
mkdir: /usr/local/share/easy-rsa/pki: Permission denied

Easy-RSA error:

Failed to create PKI file structure (permissions?)
$ doas ./easyrsa init-pki

init-pki complete; you may now create a CA or requests.
Your newly created PKI dir is: /usr/local/share/easy-rsa/pki

For clarity, this was with the easy-rsa package for OpenBSD. Here is a list of the installed packages on the test system:
Code:
$ pkg_info
easy-rsa-3.0.1      small RSA key management package
lz4-1.7.4.2         fast BSD-licensed data compression
lzo2-2.10           portable speedy lossless data compression library
openssl-1.0.2k      TLS/SSL library and tools
openvpn-2.4.1       easy-to-use, robust, and highly configurable VPN
quirks-2.304        exceptions to pkg_add rules

I installed easy-rsa3 using the following information

Code:
git clone https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa.git
Code:
cp -R /home/user/easyrsa/easyrsa3 /etc/openvpn/

I'm sorry I have not been sufficiently clear. To correct your error:
  1. Remove your manually installed version of easy-rsa.
  2. Install and use the OpenBSD package.
Remove your manually installed version of easy-rsa, then issue these three commands:
  1. # pkg_add easy-rsa
  2. # cd /usr/local/share/easy-rsa
  3. # ./easyrsa init-pki

Hi Jggimi,

Thanks for the information. Will pkg_add command install easy-rsa3 ? easy-rsa 3 is much more easier than easy-rsa 2.

Hi Jggimi,

Sorry. I check the package repository. It shows easy-rsa-3.0.1.tgz so it should be easy-rsa3. Will get back to you after installing this. Thanks for the help.

As already noted above, in the output from my test system:
Code:
$ pkg_info
easy-rsa-3.0.1 ...

Hi Jggimi,

Thanks Jggimi! Perfect easy-rsa key generatoion, worked. Still the client cannot connect to the open VPN server. I think that might due to miss configuration. I have created a folder on etc by the name openvpn and put the server.conf file in it, and started the open vpn server by entering the command " /usr/local/sbin/openvpn --daemon --config /etc/openvpn/server.conf "

I can only see what you post. Since you have not shared any configuration information, or any connection logs, my only recommendation is to review the README file included with the OpenVPN package that was prepared specifically for OpenBSD users. You'll find it in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/.

Hi Jggimi,

I refer that manual as well. I checked everything from the scratch and make some small changes. NOW OPEN VPN IS WORKING PERFECTLY.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
