Hi,
Currently I'm working on limiting the allowed IP-addresses for logged on OpenVPN clients. I'm doing this via the OpenVPN Server configuration by activating the client-specific options and then configured the Subnet/Mask for the relevant client. The common name in the used certificates have a length of 40 characters, but it the GUI only a max number of 25 characters can be given as input. Have found the following remark on a search: RFC3280 says the maximum length of the common name should be 64. Technically from a CN point of view there should therefore not be an issue with my length of 40 characters. Is it therefore just the input field, which is preventing to use this CN of 40 characters (and can it be extended in that case)? Is there an option to change the config via SSH, so the long CN can be included in the config that way?
This is on an RT-AC88U with the most recent 386.2_4 firmware.
Thanks a lot in advance for any assistence!
