.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This program is openconnect VPN server (ocserv), a server compatible with the
openconnect VPN client. It is believed to be compatible with the protocol
used by CISCO's AnyConnect SSL VPN.
.SH "OPTIONS"

.TP
.BR \-! , " \-\-more-help"

.SH AUTHENTICATION
.br
\fBPassword authentication\fP
.br
If your system supports Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM), then
ocserv will take advantage of it to password authenticate its users.
It can be used in conjunction with certificate authentication.
.sp
.br
\fBCertificate authentication\fP
.br
In order to support certificate authentication you will need in addition to 
the server certificate and key for TLS, a certificate authority (CA) to sign
certificates for the clients. That authority should also provide a CRL to
allow the server to reject the revoked clients (see \fBca\-cert, crl\fP).
.sp
Each client will then hold a key and certificate that identifies him.
The user ID of the client must be embedded in the certificate's Distinguished
Name (DN), e.g. in the Common Name, or UID fields. For the server to
read the name, the \fBcert\-user\-oid\fP configuration option must be set.
.sp
The following examples demonstrate how to use certtool from GnuTLS to
generate such CA.
.sp
.br
\fBGenerating the CA\fP
.br
.br
.in +4
.nf
$ 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
.in -4
.fi
.sp
.br
\fBGenerating the client certificates\fP
.br
.br
.in +4
.nf
$ certtool \-\-generate\-privkey \-\-outfile user\-key.pem
$ cat << _EOF_ >user.tmpl
cn = "user"
ou = "admins"
serial = 1824
email = "user@example.com"
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
.sp
.in -4
.fi
.sp
.br
\fBRevoking a client certificate\fP
.br
To revoke the previous client certificate use:
.br
.in +4
.nf
$ cat user\-cert.pem >>revoked.pem
$ certtool \-\-generate\-crl \-\-load\-ca\-privkey ca\-key.pem \
-\-load\-ca\-certificate ca.pem \-\-load\-certificate revoked.pem \
-\-outfile crl.pem
.in -4
.fi
After that you may want to notify ocserv of the new CRL by using
the HUP signal.
.sp
.SH "IMPLEMENTATION NOTES"
Note that while this server utilizes privilege separation for password
authentication, this does not occur for TLS and client certificate authentication.
This was done to take advantage of multi\-core systems by distributing the
expensive TLS calculations to the workers.
.SH FILES
.br
\fBocserv's configuration file format\fP

By default, if no other file is specified, ocserv looks for its configuration file at \fI/etc/ocserv.conf\fP.
An example configuration file follows.
