6) Return to the bottom of the OpenVPN page and find the record with the serial number you just created. To the right, next to the red "CLOSED" box, click the pyramid icon. This should download a .zip file with the certificates called [serialnumber]-TO-IPCOP.zip.
7) If needed, unpack the .zip file to get a folder called [serialnumber]-TO-IPCop
8) Rename the file "[serialnumber]-TO-IPCop.ovpn" to "[school].ovpn" for a Windows user and "[school].conf" for a Macintosh user ... you may get a warning about changing the file extension; just say you want to use the new .conf ... where [school] is a short name for the school (phippsburg, westbath, woolwich)
9) Open the .conf or .ovpn file in TextEdit and remove the line:
ns-cert-type server
10) Attach and send these two files to the user
