| Upgrading to Easy-RSA 3 from earlier versions | ||||
| ========= | ||||
|  | ||||
| People upgrading to Easy-RSA 3 from a 2.x version should note some important | ||||
| changes starting with version 3. For a better overview of version 3 in general, | ||||
| see the Readme in the doc/ directory. | ||||
|  | ||||
| List of important changes | ||||
| ---- | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * nsCertType extensions are no longer included by default. Use of such | ||||
|    "Netscape" attributes have been deprecated upstream and their use is | ||||
|    discouraged. Configure `EASYRSA_NS_SUPPORT` in vars if you want to enable | ||||
|    this legacy behavior. | ||||
|  | ||||
|    Notably, this is important for OpenVPN deployments relying on the | ||||
|    `--ns-cert-type` directive. Either have OpenVPN use the preferred | ||||
|    `--remote-cert-tls` option, or enable legacy NS extensions. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * The default request Subject (or DN, Distinguished Name) includes just the | ||||
|    commonName. This is more suitable for VPNs and environments that don't wish | ||||
|    to include info about the Country/State/City/Org/OU in certs. Configure | ||||
|    `EASYRSA_DN` in vars if you want to enable the legacy behavior. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * The 3.0 release lacks PKCS#11 (smartcard/token) support. This is anticipated | ||||
|    to be supported in a future point-release to target each platform's need. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * The -utf8 option has been added for all supported commands.  This should be | ||||
|    backwards compatible with ASCII strings. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * The default private key encryption has been changed from 3des to aes256. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| Some new concepts | ||||
| ---- | ||||
|  | ||||
| Easy-RSA 3 has some new concepts compared to the prior v2 series. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### Request-Import-Sign workflow | ||||
|  | ||||
|   v3 is now designed to support keypairs generated on the target system where | ||||
|   they will be used, thus improving security as no keys need to be transferred | ||||
|   between hosts. The old workflow of generating everything in a single PKI is | ||||
|   still supported as well. | ||||
|  | ||||
|   The recommended workflow when using Easy-RSA as a CA is to import requests, | ||||
|   sign them, and return the issued & CA certs. Each requesting system can use | ||||
|   Easy-RSA without a CA to generate keypairs & requests. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### "Org"-style DN flexibility | ||||
|  | ||||
|   When using Easy-RSA in the "org" DN mode, it is no longer required to match | ||||
|   some of the field values. This improves flexibility, and enables easier remote | ||||
|   generation as the requester doesn't need to know the CA's values in advance. | ||||
|  | ||||
|   Previously in v2, the Country, State, and Org values all had to match or a | ||||
|   request couldn't be signed. If you want the old behavior you can change the | ||||
|   OpenSSL config to require it or simply look over the DN at signing time. | ||||
