We tried to use OpenVPN to control access and increase
security to a central database server, but the administrators weren’t
satisfied with the “crude” command line control of OpenSSL (they’re
windows admins J ). I
attempted to create a php web interface to allow easy administration, but the
complexity and lack of time rendered the project differed for a simple Windows
PPTP VPN. Since that time (a few months ago), there has been much concern
over security and wanting more than a simple Windows password to access the
database server. They want to look at OpenVPN again, which is
great. However, I ran across OpenCA and was wondering if anyone has tied
OpenVPN to it and if they could enlighten me as to how difficult it was and/or
offer a HOWTO. I looked online and found little helpful docs about using
the two together. I intend to install both OpenVPN and OpenCA on a test
server Monday, but I’m hoping someone can offer help before then.
Thanks!!
