Hi,

Well then change it for your needs - the vpn extension template isn't
specifically for openvpn, its just an starting point for a vpn- server,
like the other role-templates and there openssl-config-templates too.


Well, the link above says:

"The RFC3280 determine that the following attributes should be provided for
TLS connections:
Mode    Key usage       Extended key usage
Client  digitalSignature,keyAgreement   TLS Web Client Authentication
Server  digitalSignature,keyEncipherment,keyAgreement   TLS Web Server
Authentication
"

So, I don't think this is specific to OpenVPN.

sorry to contradict, the above text cites the required key usage for TLS connections which OpenVPN can use for establishing a VPN. IPSEC, on the other hand, does not use TLS at all and will work with the key usage specified in the sample configuration. OpenVPN is of course gaining popularity (and rightly so), but I guess most people think IPSEC when talking about VPNs.

Dalini had a point when he wrote that the profiles are mereley a configuration example - you will have to review them and modify them to your needs.

cheers

Martin
