auth-tokens are purged if auth-nocache is set

[crcinau]

When attempting to connect using a One Time Password, it is supported that the server pushes an auth-token to the client. This is supposed to be used for reneg purposes as the original password is now invalid.

When auth-nocache is specified, the auth-token is purged.

When an auth-token is provided via a push to the client, the auth-token should not be purged - regardless of the auth-nocache option.

Management clients like NetworkManager? set auth-nocache with no way to change this. NM will resend the OTP via the management interface when authentication is required for a reneg to occur.

Steven,
I may have found the problematic code. Apparently the management code was wiping all the auth_user_pass attributes, thus messing up with the auth-nocache+token logic we modified not so much time ago.

The attached patch should fix the problem.

If you want, you find master+this_patch at the following URL for you to clone:
​https://github.com/ordex/openvpn/tree/management-auth-user-pass

It would nice if you could test this code and let us know if it solves the issue or not.

Thanks!

I can confirm that this patch fixes the issue.

Kudos to dazo and ordex.

    management: preserve wait_for_push field when asking for user/pass
    
    With the introduction of the wait_for_push field in the auth_user_pass
    structure, we have to make sure that such field is not accidentally
    erased when the management asks the user for user/pass.
    
    Erasing such field would mess up the logic introduced by
    ("Ignore auth-nocache for auth-user-pass if auth-token is pushed").
    
    Thanks to David Sommerseth for the preliminary analysis and debugging.
