Client

Create a new key

Linux/windows:

   $ openssl genrsa -aes256 -out 0x20-vpn-your_name_here.key 2048

Create a Certificate signing request

   $ openssl req -new -key 0x20-vpn-your_name_here.key -out 0x20-vpn-your_name_here.csr
           countryName               = BE
           stateOrProvinceName       = Ghent
           organizationName          = 0x20
           organizationalUnitName    = members
           commonName                = your_name_here

Get your certificate signed

Mail your CSR(certificate signing request) to someone who has access to the 0x20 CA. Best is being physically present in the space.

Sign cert:

   $ openssl ca -in ../0x20-vpn-your_name_here.csr -cert ca-0x20-cert.pem -keyfile private/ca-0x20-key.pem -out 0x20-vpn-your_name_here.cert -config ./openssl.cnf
