Hi all, I'm currently attempting to setup an OpenVPN tunnel (as client) from my pfSense 2.0-RELEASE box (running the equivalent of the old "Embedded" image).
The trick here is that the VPN provider uses username/password for authentication (as opposed to certificates) which is not (as far as I can tell) supported through the webUI, a couple of questions arise; * From the documentation I've been able to find (none of it particularly good...) I gather that in order to do this I will have to use the auth-user-pass directive in the config file pointed at a file containing the relevant authentication information, as a consequence I need to create a persistent text (i.e. which will survive a reboot) file somewhere within the pfSense tree, I have attempted to create a files under /cf and /var/etc/openvpn (using the webUI "Edit File" function) but in each case the file has been deleted sometime later. Is there a location I can place a file which will be written to the CF card and restored at boot? or would I have to do something akin to what was necessary in 1.2x (i.e. adding a stanza to the config file to execute some commands early in the boot), or is there a different "right" way to do this? * Further to the above the documentation suggests that openvpn must have been compiled with specific options enabled in order to support this type of config, has the version of openvpn included in pfSense been compiled with these optionse enabled? Alternatively, if I'm barking up the wrong tree I'm more than happy to be directed to a more appropriate solution.
