extract the certificate and key from an .ovpn file

explode-opvn.sh

#!/bin/bash
 
# This script will extract the certificate and key from an .ovpn file
# into their own files, which makes it possible to use them to configure
# the VPN using Ubuntu's network manager
 
# Usage example:
# >> ovpnconvert username.dev.ovpn
 
# You can keep following these instructions here:
# https://naveensnayak.wordpress.com/2013/03/04/ubuntu-openvpn-with-ovpn-file/
 
sed '1,/<ca>/d;/<\/ca>/,$d' $1 > $1.ca.crt
sed '1,/<cert>/d;/<\/cert>/,$d' $1 > $1.client.crt
sed '1,/<key>/d;/<\/key>/,$d' $1 > $1.client.key
sed '1,/<tls-auth>/d;/<\/tls-auth>/,$d' $1 > $1.ta.key

it's just perfect

I have written a bash script that could split or merge OVPN config file. The code can be found at https://github.com/labbots/OVPN-Config-Manipulator
