=== Description ===
[http://openvpn.net OpenVPN] is a full-featured open source SSL VPN solution that accommodates a wide range of configurations, including remote access, site-to-site VPNs, Wi-Fi security, and enterprise-scale remote access solutions with load balancing, failover, and fine-grained access-controls. Starting with the fundamental premise that complexity is the enemy of security, OpenVPN offers a cost-effective, lightweight alternative to other VPN technologies that is well-targeted for the SME and enterprise markets.
This contrib will help you configuring OpenVPN in bridge mode. With this mode, clients connecting to the VPN from the outside will get an IP in the local subnet, the VPN and the Internal Interface are bridged. There's no routing problem, no additional firewall rules. The downside is that you cannot limit which services VPN clients has access to, they are just treated as locally connected computers.
=== Requirements ===
*SME Server 7.X (serveronly or server&gateway works)
*You have to install and enable the [http://wiki.contibs.org/BridgeInterface bridge-interface] contrib
*You may want to install [http://wiki.contribs.org/PHPki PHPki] to manage easily your certificates.
{{Warning box|The current version of the contrib is a complete rewrite of the older smeserver-openvpn-bridge.fws. There are a lot of changes between the two, mainly the way certificates are managed. You should read this before starting the upgrade. Even better, you should first try on a test server.
}}
=== Installation ===
*install the rpms
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-openvpn-bridge
*Configure the certificates
You can now go in the server-manager, you'll find a new OpenVPN-Bridge menu. Here, you will first have to click on the "configure certificates" link.
Here, you'll need to enter several informations:
{{Warning box|All the certificates have to be PEM encoded}}
*An URL where OpenVPN can update the CRL. If you use PHPki on the same server, you can let the default value.
*A master Certificate (used to verify clients certificates)
*The server certificate (used by clients to verify the server)
*The server private key associated with the certificate
*Diffie-Helman parameters (Used to exchange the session key)
*An optional key generate by openvpn to add TLS authentication
You can use [http://wiki.contribs.org/PHPki PHPki] contrib to manage this easily. PHPki doesn't need to be installed on the same server. You can also manage your PKI by hands, or with your own PKI tool if you allready use one.
Once you have enter all the required information, just submit the form.
You should then see the message:
Certificates status Certificates are ready
With "Certificates are ready" in green. If it's not the case, you have a problem with the certificates configuration.
*Configure the service
The second step is to configure the service. In the main page of the panel, click on the "Service configuration" button.
Here you can enable the service, choose the authentication mode you want, and configure the IP address range for the clients
Once you submit this form, the service should start. You can check everything is ok with this command:
tailf /var/log/openvpn-bridge/current
=== Upgrade from smeserver-openvpn-bridge-fws-1.1-2 ===
If you was using the previous version of the contrib, you'll need some additionnal steps to migrate your configuration.
*Install [http://wiki.contribs.org/PHPki PHPki]
First, you'll have to install [http://wiki.contribs.org/PHPki PHPki]. Be sure to follow the migration step http://wiki.contribs.org/PHPki#Migrate_Certificates_from_OpenVPN-Bridge_contrib
*Install the new contrib
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-openvpn-bridge
You can configure the bridge-interface contrib now. You can follow this [http://wiki.contribs.org/BridgeInterface how-to]
*Migrate OpenVPN Server certificates
Now, you should install the old certificates in the new location
For this, you can use this script:
#!/bin/bash
# Store the actual time in $TIME
TIME=$(date +%d%m%Y%H%M%S)
OPENSSL=/usr/bin/openssl
OLDDIR=/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/bridge/
OVPNNEWDIR=/etc/openvpn/bridge
convert_cert_to_rule_entries(){
DBNAME='openvpn-bridge'
# The new openvpn contrib doesn't use cert entries but rules ones
# So we need to convert it
if [ -e /home/e-smith/db/$DBNAME ]; then
mv /home/e-smith/db/$DBNAME /home/e-smith/db/$DBNAME.$TIME
for CERT in $(/sbin/e-smith/db $DBNAME.$TIME keys); do
# If the entry is a cert and cert-type=client
if [ $(/sbin/e-smith/db $DBNAME.$TIME gettype $CERT) == 'cert' ]&&[ $(/sbin/e-smith/db $DBNAME.$TIME getprop $CERT cert-type) == 'client' ]; then
COM=$(/sbin/e-smith/db $DBNAME.$TIME getprop $CERT comment)
REDIR=$(/sbin/e-smith/db $DBNAME.$TIME getprop $CERT redirectGW)
IP=$(/sbin/e-smith/db $DBNAME.$TIME getprop $CERT ip)
# Blank out the IP if fefined as 'undef'
if [ $IP == 'undef' ]; then
IP=''
fi
/sbin/e-smith/db $DBNAME set $CERT rule comment "$COM" redirectGW "$REDIR" ip "$IP"
fi
done
fi
}
install_cert_in_new_dir(){
# Here, we install the old certificates used by openvpn daemon to the new location
mkdir -p $OVPNNEWDIR/{priv,pub}
cat $OLDDIR/$SRVCN.crt > $OVPNNEWDIR/pub/cert.pem
cat $OLDDIR/$SRVCN.key > $OVPNNEWDIR/priv/key.pem
cat $OLDDIR/dh.pem > $OVPNNEWDIR/pub/dh.pem
cat $OLDDIR/ca.crt > $OVPNNEWDIR/pub/cacert.pem
cat $OLDDIR/ta.key > $OVPNNEWDIR/priv/takey.pem
cat $OLDDIR/crl.pem > $OVPNNEWDIR/pub/cacrl.pem
}
perms(){
# Restrict access
chown -R root:root $OVPNNEWDIR
chmod -R o-rwx $OVPNNEWDIR
}
convert_cert_to_rule_entries
install_cert_in_new_dir
perms
Save this script and run it as root.
=== Configuration rules ===
The configuration is the new way to apply specific configuration to a client. As now the certificates are managed separatly, you have to create rules separatly. It's still quite simple, just add a new rule, enter the common name to match, a comment, choose an optional fixed IP, choose to enable/disable the gateway redirection, or even block a specific client. Then save, and you're done.
=== Configuration file ===
On the main page of the panel, you can display a sample configuration file. This file is dynamically generated according to server-side configuration.
Here, you'll just need to change the line
pkcs12 user.p12
or uncomment and change the lines
#ca cacert.pem
#cert user.pem
#key user-key.pem
to match the certificate name of the client
=== Advanced configuration ===
Some advanced options are not presented in the panel. The goal was to keep the panel as simple as possible as most installations won't need to change advanced settings. But advanced options are still available with some DB keys:
*ConfigRequired: (enabled|disabled). If set to enable, clients will be rejected un less a configuration rule match the common name of their certificate. This can be usefull if you use just one CA to sign a lot of different certificates, but only want a limited number of certificates to connect to the VPN
*UDPPort: (number) Change the port the server listen to when running in UDP mode
*TCPPort: (number) Change the port the server listen to when running in TCP mode
*access: (private|public) you should let this to public as running a VPN server just for the local network make no sens
*cipher: (valid cipher name) You can force the cipher to use. If you put auto, or delete this key, client and server will negociate the stronger cipher both side support. To have the list of the supported cipher, issue the command
openvpn --show-ciphers
*clientToClient: (enabled|disabled) If you want to prevent two clients to communicate, you should enable this option
*compLzo: (enabled|disabled) This option control the usage of real time LZO compression. Enabling it usually improve the performance at no cost. It uses an adaptative algorithm, if data sent over the tunnel are uncompressable, the compression will automatically be disabled. You may want to disable it on small hardware.
*management: (<ip to bind to>:<port>:password) this key contrl the management interface of openvpn. The default is to listen only on the loopback interface. It's used to display connected clients. You can allow the access on the local network to get some more statistics using for example: http://www.mertech.com.au/mertech-products-openvpnusermanager.aspx
*maxClients: (number) maximum number of clients connected at a time
*mtuTest: (enabled|disabled) When using UDP as transport protocol, mtu-test will mesure the best MTU for the virtual interface. You should let it enabled un less you know what you're doing
*protocol: (udp|tcp) The transport protocol to use. UDP is recommadned for coth security and performance, but there are situationw where you'll need to use tcp. If you use TCP, you should set TCPPort directive to set the port the daemon will listen on
*redirectGW: (perClient|allways) The default is to enable the gateway redirection on a per client basis. But if you want the redirection to be allways enabled, you can set this key to "allways". This way, you won't have to create a new rule for each client.
*tapIf (tap interface): use this tap interface. You should use a tap free tap interface enlsaved in the bridge contrib. Don't change this setting unless you know what you're doing
Once you have configured the service like you want, just run the command
signal-event openvpn-bridge-update
=== Uninstall ===
To remove the contrib, just run:
yum remove smeserver-openvpn-bridge
You may also want to remove some other dependencies if you don't use them anymore
yum remove smerver-phpki phpki smeserver-bridge-interface perl-Net-OpenVPN-Manage perl-Net-Telnet
=== Source ===
The source for this contrib can be found in the smeserver [http://smeserver.cvs.sourceforge.net/smeserver/smeserver-openvpn-bridge/ CVS] on sourceforge.
=== Bugs ===
Please raise bugs under the SME-Contribs section in [http://bugs.contribs.org/enter_bug.cgi bugzilla]
