New OpenVPN feature for additional server and client config
by ummeegge 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hi all, i wanted to introduce a new OpenVPN feature which makes it possible to integrate some additional user configurations for server.conf but also for client.ovpn. The OpenVPN CGI script creates two new files under /var/ipfire/ovpn/scripts if the server was stopped and the save button was hit. These files can be processed like usual OpenVPN configuration files and will be printed to the configurations after the save button was used. Also, they won´t be changed by an IPFire side update of the ovpnmain.cgi, so the changes on the configurations are consistent and do not be made by modifications over the perl script or manually over the server.conf which disappears at this after changes over the WUI. If someone is interested in this feature, the code and an forum discussion in this topic can be found in here --> https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10577 . The Bugzilla entry contains also all other links. Feedback would be nice. Greetings to all, Erik

Approximately the same rules as the Linux kernel uses apply here. Check section 12) for some explanation why this is why it is. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches We are able to make exceptions for very trivial changes like spelling fixes as there is no copyright involved. > Best regards > Mario, aka JochenKauz > > 2014-10-01 15:09 GMT+02:00 Michael Tremer <michael.tremer(a)ipfire.org>: > Hi Mario, > > thanks for contributing to our little project :) > > Of course we are always interested in receiving patches and > encourage > people to send us patches that improve IPFire or enhance its > functionality.

Little question regarding Patches in guzilla
by Jochen Kauz 01 Oct '14

Hi SIG-VPN, I have only a short question. I submitted two patches to the bugzilla, which deals with 2 Problems I have seen in vpnmain.cgi. What is the chance that this changes can integrated into the ipfire release in the next future? I only ask, cause I have to deal with it in the future and patch again if a core release updates this file. So an information would be good only to prepare for future core updates. Best regards JochenKauz
