#568 closed Bug / Defect (fixed)

make parser more robust in the face of corrupt/missing </close> tags for inline stuff

Reported by: hildeb Owned by:
Priority: major Milestone: release 2.3.8
Component: Generic / unclassified Version: OpenVPN 2.3.7 (Community Ed)
Severity: Not set (select this one, unless your'e a OpenVPN developer) Keywords: config
Cc: plaisthos

Description

Today I created a config with embedded key, cert, ca and ta.key.
Upon connecting, openvpn wouldn't use user&pass authentication, although it was present in the config file.

Moving auth-user-pass BEFORE the <ca>...</ca> etc. sections mad openvpn honour the config parameter again.

I suspect some bug in the config parser...

Mmmmh, I can't reproduce this - I have changed one of my config files to have the "auth-user-pass" after the </key>, and it works nicely - both with 2.3.6 and with git master (which has all the changes that went into 2.3.7 and lots more)

Could you re-check that there is no other syntax issue, like, missing or mis-spelled </key>?

My bad. There was a </cer> instead of </cert> (but the parse could have found this...)

Changed ticket summary, valid complaint :-) - someone needs to look into it...

(Warning in 2.3, to point out the issue without breaking people's setups. FATAL in 2.4, because this really should not go unnoticed)

Thanks, Plaisthos.
