+Generate X.509 Certificate and Keys
+***********************************
+
+OpenVPN ships with a set of scripts called Easy-RSA that can generate the
+appropriate files needed for an OpenVPN setup using X.509 certificates.
+Easy-RSA comes installed by default on VyOS routers.
+
+Copy the Easy-RSA scripts to a new directory to modify the values.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ cp -r /usr/share/easy-rsa/ /config/my-easy-rsa-config
+ cd /config/my-easy-rsa-config
+
+To ensure the consistent use of values when generating the PKI, set default
+values to be used by the PKI generating scripts. Rename the vars.example filename
+to vars
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ mv vars.example vars
+
+Following is the instance of the file after editing. You may also change other values in
+the file at your discretion/need, though for most cases the defaults should be just fine.
+(do not leave any of these parameters blank)

+.. code-block:: none

+init-pki option will create a new pki directory or will delete any previously generated
+certificates stored in that folder. The term 'central' is used to refer server and

+ vyos@vyos:/config/my-easy-rsa-config$./easyrsa gen-dh
+ vyos@vyos:/config/my-easy-rsa-config$./easyrsa build-client-full branch1 nopass
+
+To generate a certificate revocation list for any client, execute these commands:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ vyos@vyos:/config/my-easy-rsa-config$./easyrsa revoke client1
+ vyos@vyos:/config/my-easy-rsa-config$ ./easyrsa gen-crl
+
+Copy the files to /config/auth/ovpn/ to use in OpenVPN tunnel creation
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ vyos@vyos:/config/my-easy-rsa-config$ sudo mkdir /config/auth/ovpn
+ vyos@vyos:/config/my-easy-rsa-config$ sudo cp pki/ca.crt /config/auth/ovpn
+ vyos@vyos:/config/my-easy-rsa-config$ sudo cp pki/dh.pem /config/auth/ovpn
+ vyos@vyos:/config/my-easy-rsa-config$ sudo cp pki/private/central.key /config/auth/ovpn
+ vyos@vyos:/config/my-easy-rsa-config$ sudo cp pki/issued/central.crt /config/auth/ovpn
+ vyos@vyos:/config/my-easy-rsa-config$ sudo cp pki/crl.pem /config/auth/ovpn
+
+Additionally, each client needs a copy of ca.crt and its own client key and cert files.
+The files are plaintext so they may be copied either manually,
+or through a remote file transfer tool like scp. Whichever method you use,
+the files need to end up in the proper location on each router.
+For example, Branch 1's router might have the following files:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ vyos@branch1-rtr:$ ls /config/auth/ovpn
+ ca.crt branch1.crt branch1.key
