To enable multiple methods use # multiple auth directives. Available options: certificate, optional-certificate, # plain, pam. #auth = "certificate" #auth = "pam" # This indicates that a user may present a certificate. When that option # is set, individual users or user groups can be forced to present a valid # certificate by using "require-cert=true". #auth = "certificate[optional]" # The gid-min option is used by auto-select-group option, in order to # select the minimum valid group ID. #auth = "pam[gid-min=1000]" # The plain option requires specifying a password file which contains # entries of the following format. # "username:groupname1,groupname2:encoded-password" # One entry must be listed per line, and 'ocpasswd' can be used # to generate password entries. #auth = "plain[/etc/ocserv/ocpasswd]" # Whether to enable the authentication method's session control (i.e., PAM). # That requires more resources on the server, and makes cookies one-time-use; # thus don't enable unless you need it.

It follows the AnyConnect VPN protocol which is used by several CISCO routers. _EOT_; }; doc-section = { ds-type = 'DESCRIPTION'; ds-format = 'texi'; ds-text = <<-_EOT_ This a standalone server that reads a configuration file (see below for more details), and waits for client connections. The server maintains two connections/channels with the client. The main VPN channel is established over TCP and TLS. This is the control channel as well as the backup data channel. After its establishment a UDP channel using DTLS is initiated which serves as the main data channel. If the UDP channel fails to establish or is temporarily unavailable the backup channel over TCP/TLS is being used. This server supports multiple authentication methods, including PAM and certificate authentication. Authenticated users are assigned an unprivileged worker process and obtain a networking (tun) device and an IP from a configurable pool of addresses. Once authenticated, the server provides the client with an IP address and a list of routes that it may access. In order to allow high-speed transfers the server does not process or filter packets. It is expected that the server has or will set up any required routes or firewall rules. It is possible to separate users into groups, which are either present on their certificate, or presented on login for the user to choose. That way a user may take advantage of the different settings that may apply per group. See the comments on the configuration file for more information. _EOT_; }; doc-section = { ds-type = 'AUTHENTICATION'; ds-format = 'texi'; ds-text = <<-_EOT_ Users can be authenticated in multiple ways, which are explained in the following paragraphs. Connected users can be managed using the 'occtl' tool. @subheading Password authentication If your system supports Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM), then ocserv will take advantage of it to password authenticate its users. Otherwise a plain password file similar to the UNIX password file is also supported. In that case the 'ocpasswd' tool can be used for its management. Note that password authentication can be used in conjunction with certificate authentication. @subheading Public key (certificate) authentication Public key authentication allows the user to be authenticated by the possession of the private key that corresponds to a known to the server public key. That allows the usage of common smart cards for user authentication. In ocserv, a certificate authority (CA) is used to sign the client certificates. That certificate authority can be local, used only by the server to sign its user's known public keys which are then given to users in a form of certificates. That authority need also provide a CRL to allow the server to reject the revoked clients (see @var{ca-cert, crl}). In certificate authentication each client presents a certificate and signs data provided by the server, as part of TLS authentication, to prove his possession of the corresponding private key. The certificate need also contain user identifying information, for example, the user ID of the client must be embedded in the certificate's Distinguished Name (DN), i.e., in the Common Name, or UID fields. For the server to read the name, the @var{cert-user-oid} configuration option must be set. The following examples demonstrate how to use certtool from GnuTLS to generate such CA. @subheading Generating the CA @example $ certtool --generate-privkey --outfile ca-key.pem $ cat << _EOF_ >ca.tmpl cn = "VPN CA" organization = "Big Corp" serial = 1 expiration_days = 9999 ca signing_key cert_signing_key crl_signing_key _EOF_ $ certtool --generate-self-signed --load-privkey ca-key.pem \ --template ca.tmpl --outfile ca-cert.pem @end example @subheading Generating a local server certificate The following example generates the server key and certificate pair. The key generated is an RSA one, but different types can be used by specifying the 'ecdsa' or 'dsa' options to certtool. @example $ certtool --generate-privkey --outfile server-key.pem $ cat << _EOF_ >server.tmpl cn = "www.example.com" organization = "MyCompany" expiration_days = 9999 signing_key encryption_key #only if the generated key is an RSA one tls_www_server _EOF_ $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey server-key.pem \ --load-ca-certificate ca-cert.pem --load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \ --template server.tmpl --outfile server-cert.pem @end example From this point the clients need ca-cert.pem to be able to securely connect to the server. Note that it is a better practice to use two separate RSA keys, one with the signing_key option and another with the encryption_key. @subheading Generating an external CA-signed server certificate @example $ certtool --generate-privkey --outfile server-key.pem $ cat << _EOF_ >server.tmpl cn = "www.example.com" organization = "MyCompany" expiration_days = 9999 signing_key encryption_key #only if the generated key is an RSA one tls_www_server _EOF_ $ certtool --generate-request --load-privkey server-key.pem \ --template server.tmpl --outfile server-cert.csr @end example At this point you need to provide the server-cert.csr to your CA, and they will send you the server certificate. @subheading Generating the client certificates Note that it is recommended to leave detailed personal information out of the certificate as it is sent in clear during TLS authentication. The following process generates a certificate and converts it to PKCS #12 that is protected by a PIN and most clients are able to import (the cipher arcfour is used in the example because although weak, it is supported by far more devices than AES). @example $ certtool --generate-privkey --outfile user-key.pem $ cat << _EOF_ >user.tmpl cn = "user" unit = "admins" expiration_days = 9999 signing_key tls_www_client _EOF_ $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey user-key.pem \ --load-ca-certificate ca-cert.pem --load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \ --template user.tmpl --outfile user-cert.pem $ certtool --to-p12 --load-privkey user-key.pem \ --pkcs-cipher arcfour \ --load-certificate user-cert.pem \ --outfile user.p12 @end example @subheading Revoking a client certificate To revoke the previous client certificate use: @example $ cat << _EOF_ >crl.tmpl crl_next_update = 9999 crl_number = 1 _EOF_ $ cat user-cert.pem >>revoked.pem $ certtool --generate-crl --load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \ --load-ca-certificate ca.pem --load-certificate revoked.pem \ --template crl.tmpl --outfile crl.pem @end example After that you may want to notify ocserv of the new CRL by using the HUP signal. When there are no revoked certificates an empty revocation list should be generated as follows. @example $ certtool --generate-crl --load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \ --load-ca-certificate ca.pem \ --template crl.tmpl --outfile crl.pem @end example _EOT_; }; doc-section = { ds-type = 'IMPLEMENTATION NOTES'; ds-format = 'texi'; ds-text = <<-_EOT_ Note that while this server utilizes privilege separation and password authentication occurs on the security module, this does not apply for TLS client certificate authentication.
