[Openvpn-users] OpenVPN Auth-LDAP 2.0-rc1


  • Subject: [Openvpn-users] OpenVPN Auth-LDAP 2.0-rc1
  • From: Landon Fuller <landonf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hello All --

I've just uploaded the first release candidate of the Auth-LDAP plugin (2.0-rc1); only one change was made since the last beta:
	- Disable the use of -Werror by default (only used for development).

The plugin can be found at http://dpw.threerings.net/projects/openvpn- auth-ldap/

For the newly arriving, the Auth-LDAP plugin provides:
- Full support for LDAP search filters -- no more DN templates required.
	- Group-based access control. (rfc2307bis / LDAP)
- Integration with the OpenBSD Packet Filter. Can add and remove VPN clients to PF tables on connect/disconnect -- even on the basis of group membership. Tested on FreeBSD.
	- Easy to understand Apache-style configuration file.

The plugin should work against any standard LDAP server, including Active Directory and OpenLDAP. While certain features (eg packet filter integration) are OS-specific, the general functionality of the plugin has been tested on Linux and FreeBSD, and should work on any UNIX-like operating system.

I'd like to strongly encourage any interested parties to try the plugin out -- We're using this code in production, and barring any unexpected issues, this release candidate will become the final release.

Cheers,
-landonf
