You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. > -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout runvmc.key \ You always need to enter some parameters when you create a CSR (such as Country, State, City, Organization Name). The command below creates a 2048-bit private key ( runvmc.key) and a CSR ( runvmc.csr) from scratch. The first thing we need to do is create a self-signed certificate. The best tutorial I found for using OpenSSL is here. Connect to AWS Client VPN Endpoint with OpenVPN Client.Deploy AWS Directory Services (if not in used already).Import OpenSSL Certificate to AWS Certificate Manager.It didn’t take me that long but it’s not that straight-forward either. Let’s go through the installation workflow. AWS Directory Services (the managed Active Directory) if AD authentication is used.In VMware Cloud on AWS, connected to the VPC where the AWS Client VPN Endpoint is deployed over the ENI or over a VPN.In a remote site connected over VPN to the VPC where the AWS Client VPN Endpoint is deployed.In a VPC peered with the VPC where the AWS Client VPN Endpoint is deployed (I covered VPC peering in a previous post).In the VPC where the AWS Client VPN Endpoint (aka SSL Server) is deployed.

The AWS Client VPN enables clients to access resources: I will walk through it later in this post.

We will need to generate these certificates, keys and CSR with OpenSSL and install OpenVPN on our client. I won’t go into too much details about these concepts in here but essentially these artefacts will enable you to secure your SSL VPN session. OpenSSL enables you to generate certificates, keys and CSR (Certificate Signing Requests). OpenVPN works with OpenSSL, an open-source cryptographic tool. It enables remote users (usually at home or on the road) to access data in a DC (or in the Cloud) through encryption and authentication using SSL and TLS. If you’ve never used OpenVPN before, it is essentially an open-source version of SSL VPN clients such as the good old Cisco VPN Client / Cisco An圜onnect or Juniper Pulse Secure.
