In iOS IPSec VPN Server on Ubuntu, I create a local CA with openssl.
I’m setting up an OpenConnect VPN, which uses GnuTLS’s certtool generating ca and sign certificates.
I want to use share the same Root CA for both OpenSSL and GnuTLS, so I’m generating request from GnuTLS and signing with OpenSSL.
Apple has it’s own certtool different from GnuTLS, the MacPorts one is named as gnutls-certtool
