| + | # Introduction |
| + | |
| + | It is possible to use smartcards to authenticate OpenVPN clients. However, it can be tricky to find OpenVPN, OpenSSL and OpenSC versions which play well together. Fortunately Alon from the [OpenSC project](https://www.opensc-project.org) provides custom builds that make things easier for many. Here are instructions for using them: |
| + | |
| + | ``` |
| + | Builds are at [1], had to change location. |
| + | Instructions are at [2]. |
| + | |
| + | You need version 010 of the build. |
| + | |
| + | i686 - is 32bit |
| + | x86_64 - is 64bit |
| + | |
| + | You need to install openvpn installer, which will install the tap driver. |
| + | Then extract files from base and openvpn to specific directory and use |
| + | this openvpn. |
| + | |
| + | You can also use the setup, I've never used it my-self but told that |
| + | it is working. |
