# Easy-RSA 3 parameter settings # NOTE: If you installed Easy-RSA from your distro's package manager, don't edit # this file in place -- instead, you should copy the entire easy-rsa directory # to another location so future upgrades don't wipe out your changes. # HOW TO USE THIS FILE # # vars.example contains built-in examples to Easy-RSA settings. You MUST name # this file 'vars' if you want it to be used as a configuration file. If you do # not, it WILL NOT be automatically read when you call easyrsa commands. # # It is not necessary to use this config file unless you wish to change # operational defaults. These defaults should be fine for many uses without the # need to copy and edit the 'vars' file. # # All of the editable settings are shown commented and start with the command # 'set_var' -- this means any set_var command that is uncommented has been # modified by the user. If you're happy with a default, there is no need to # define the value to its default. # NOTES FOR WINDOWS USERS # # Paths for Windows *MUST* use forward slashes, or optionally double-esscaped # backslashes (single forward slashes are recommended.) This means your path to # the openssl binary might look like this: # "C:/Program Files/OpenSSL-Win32/bin/openssl.exe" # A little housekeeping: DON'T EDIT THIS SECTION # # Easy-RSA 3.x doesn't source into the environment directly. # Complain if a user tries to do this: if [ -z "$EASYRSA_CALLER" ]; then echo "You appear to be sourcing an Easy-RSA 'vars' file." >&2 echo "This is no longer necessary and is disallowed.
