I can and have installed the CACert Root CA - no problem - but for some reason I get no error when attempting to install the certificate, and no result either. I have tried this in the winbox gui and the commant line.
Router is an RB/433UAH and the OS version is 4.9 (which all of my routers are currently running and I should prefer not to have to upgrade unless there is a known bug in this area as have otherwise just got a stable network).
Computer is a Mac and I used TextEdit to create the .pem file from the CACert screen.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Objective is to upgrade VPN on core network from pptp to OpenVPN.
No sooner had I posted the above than it dawned on me that there may be a problem with the editor used to save the certificate. I had used TextEdit, the standard OS X text and programming editor - but I do remember having to use, for instance, BBEdit when editing .html files in order to preserve line breaks etc.
So I downloaded BBEdit and used that and Hey Presto! Installation via winbox worked just as indicated.
Sorry if this wasted anyone’s time. BBEdit is not free - I will now look for a free programmer’s editor and add this to the thread for the impecunious mac users out there…
