SUMMARY

dazo, lev, mattock, ordex and syzzer participated in this meeting.

---

Mattock gave an update on tap-windows6 HLK testing. The physical HLK
environment is working well. There a couple of odd-duck test failures
(=reason unknown/not looked into yet) as well as a few known issues
(=solution known). Some of the tests that have failed are not even
mandatory (e.g. "Static tools logo test"). A server 2019 Core HLK client
is needed to pass the "Operating in Server Core" test.

---

Mattock relayed an update from OSTIF.  The Operator Foundation should be
able to complete the obfs4, shadowsocks, and meek1 plugins (for OpenVPN)
by the end of October.

--

Talked about OpenVPN 2.x, and testing in particular. User/pass auth
testing has started to become quite complex. In that area more automated
testing would be good. Also, testing (things through) the management
interface would be a nice addition.

Full chatlog attached.

(12:35:24) mattock: hi!
(12:35:44) lev__: hi
(12:37:51) ordex: hi mattock1 
(12:37:51) ordex: :)
(12:38:17) dazo ha scelto come argomento: Next meeting 20/June/2019 at 20:00 
CEST.  Agenda at https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Topics-2019-06-12
(12:38:45) dazo: hopefully at least 1 of 2 of the information parts will be 
valid next week :-P
(12:39:48) mattock: hi guys!
(12:39:58) mattock: let's check the agenda
(12:40:10) dazo: #1 tap-windows6 update :)
(12:40:17) mattock: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Topics-2019-06-12
(12:40:19) vpnHelper: Title: Topics-2019-06-12 – OpenVPN Community (at 
community.openvpn.net)
(12:40:37) mattock: so, I've slowly worked through most of the tests
(12:40:57) mattock: there are a couple of odd ducks (=unknown issues) which I 
need to look into
(12:41:18) mattock: plus those tests which are known to fail without some 
special setup
(12:41:46) mattock: plus "Operate in Server Core" requires a Server 2019 Core 
installation
(12:41:51) mattock: =HLK client
(12:42:18) mattock: then I also need to verify which of the tests are actually 
mandatory (e.g. static tools logo test is failing, but it is not mandatory)
(12:43:32) mattock: so, looking good, and I _hope_ the remaining failures can 
be resolved this week
(12:44:30) mattock: the physical HLK test environment seems to work well
(12:44:46) mattock: that's all there is about tap-windows6 at my end
(12:46:02) mattock: I have an update from OSTIF btw
(12:46:20) mattock: maybe that would work as topic #2
(12:46:43) syzzer: at least decent progress on the tap-windows side, that's 
nice :)
(12:46:55) syzzer: what's with OSTIF?
(12:47:03) mattock: syzzer: yeah, though it is not done until it is done :)
(12:47:17) mattock: first of all, the wanted to thank ordex for his work
(12:47:29) dazo: syzzer: https://ostif.org/
(12:47:32) vpnHelper: Title: OSTIF.org Open Source Technology Improvement Fund 
(at ostif.org)
(12:47:47) mattock: "obfs4, shadowsocks, and meek1 plugins should be completed 
by the end of October"
(12:47:56) dazo: nice!
(12:48:11) ordex: mattock1: what for exactly ?
(12:48:32) mattock: OpenVPN I assume
(12:48:46) ordex: ah "they"
(12:49:12) mattock: so operator foundation is working on this stuff
(12:49:16) ordex: ah ok
(12:49:26) ordex: tthen yeah, it's related to the jigsaw project
(12:49:41) ordex: that I am trying to get merged
(12:49:48) mattock: yeah
(12:50:13) mattock: so things seem to be moving forward there, which is good
(12:50:13) ordex: okok
(12:50:30) mattock: so, speaking of progress
(12:50:41) mattock: anything we should/can discuss regarding openvpn 2.5?
(12:51:09) syzzer: not from my side
(12:53:09) ordex: I briefly discussed with dazo how to change the makefile to 
fix the t_net.sh issue we have now in master
(12:53:21) ordex: so I should fix that soon after I try it locally
(12:53:47) mattock: ok good!
(12:53:49) dazo: I'll be available to help out there anytime
(12:54:09) ordex: ok!
(12:54:36) ordex: cron2 also merged most of the sitnl patches, and he commented 
on something, so I will try to wrap those changes in a new patch after I fix 
the Makefile
(12:55:31) dazo: I'm hoping to get a chance to complete the review of the 
auth-token-hmac patches as well in coming days
(12:56:37) dazo: I've tested them fairly thoroughly and it works as expected.  
But will need to run a few extra tests using auth-plugins (only tested with 
--auth-user-pass-verify so far)
(12:57:55) dazo: But user/pass auth testing is growing in complexity, as we 
have quite a few ways how to do that now ... and I still haven't really thought 
about how to test the same features using the management interface
(13:01:06) mattock: how do we test that now?
(13:01:13) mattock: "stare with eye" only?
(13:02:13) dazo: I have some test scripts ... and for the new features 
plaisthos introduces, I need to write a simple auth-plugin .... management 
interface is mostly untested from community side, but it is used by the Access 
Server
(13:02:43) mattock: plus openvpn-gui etc
(13:03:07) dazo: yeah, but not for server side user authentication
(13:03:39) mattock: yeah
(13:04:09) mattock: do we have any tests in openvpn 2 for testing the 
management interface?
(13:04:27) mattock: or "testing things by using the management interface"
(13:04:42) dazo: I've done sporadic tests using the management interface 
manually
(13:04:54) dazo: but nothing consistent or automated
(13:05:10) ordex: I don't think we have any script testing that
(13:05:46) mattock: would be "nice to have"
(13:05:56) dazo: yeah
(13:07:11) mattock: anything else on 2.5/testing?
(13:08:51) ordex: not on my side
(13:09:01) mattock: any other topics?
(13:12:40) ordex: maybe not ? :D
(13:13:22) mattock: sounds good :)
(13:13:48) syzzer: well, lunch time then :)
(13:13:52) dazo: :)
(13:14:01) mattock: enjoy, I already ate :)
(13:14:11) mattock: thursday next week then
