New Topics

1. Issues with supplying username/password/response via file/stdin/management interface

  • Full IRC discussion: attachment:auth-user-pass-discussion.txt here
  • Waldner has been adding support for supplying username only to --auth-user-pass
    • It was agreed on #openvpn-devel IRC that this makes sense, as usernames rarely change
  • Waldner's proposed changes opened a can of worms. There are at least three issues:
    1. Supporting inline files
    2. Including support for user-name only via file (inline or not)
      • This may require significant refactoring
    3. Using a user-file (inline or not) with challenge-response
      • This does not work currently: is this a bug or a design decision/feature?

2. openvpn-build issues

  • How to track build changes (from pekster)
  • Ideas on how to make the nsis stuff easier (from pekster)
  • Adding snappy support (from mattock)
    • Mattock has snappy support in his local openvpn-build Git repo
    • The problem is that snappy pulls in an 8MB library as a dependency, increasing installer size considerably
    • Suggestions for fixing this?
      • Static linking?
      • Creating a slimmed down shared library?
      • Something else?
