OpenVPN
« on: May 15, 2013, 06:11:51 pm »
I'm trying to set up Zentyal as client connecting to an VPN server running on Ubuntu.

The problem is that the web based admin interface rejects the certificate key file. the amination which shows that the file is being processed appears but remains and it doesn't continue. I also tried it with a certificate which I have sussessfully used on another client but same happens.

I copied the entire /etc/openvpn from this client to the Zentyal system but I couldn't start it. No log file entry was generated.

So what can I do now?

Replacing /etc/openvpn content light not be a good idea as some part will be most likely replaced or updated when Zentyal restarts.

Did you already look at syslog and /var/log/openvpn/ for any error message ?

and what's about /var/log/zentyal/zentyal.log ?

ClientConfiguration.pm:236 EBox::OpenVPN::Model::ClientConfiguration::_validateCerts - No file supplied or already set for Client's private key

An empty folder is created /etc/openvpn/ClientName.d

Looks like the problem is that Zentyal only accepts certificates which are generated on the Zentyal web interface and can't accept external certificates.
