Comments on Setting Up An OpenVPN Server With Authentication Against OpenLDAP On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Setting Up An OpenVPN Server With Authentication Against OpenLDAP On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS OpenVPN, or Open Virtual Private Network, is a tool for creating networking "tunnels" between and among groups of computers that are not on the same local network. This is useful if you have services on a local network and need to access them remotely but don't want these services to be publicly accessible. By integrating with OpenSSL, OpenVPN can encrypt all VPN traffic to provide a secure connection between machines. The OpenLDAP backend of iRedmail allows you to integrate all kinds of applications and to realize centralized account management. This tutorial shows you how to integrate OpenVPN into the iredmail ldap backend on Ubuntu 10.04; passwords will be stored in ldap and you can change passwords through webmail.

I discover if you installed openvpn on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS you also need to install the easy-rsa package.

For example: apt-get install easy-rsa

It wasn't working for me as this ldap plugin don't recognize if ldap search is returning more than 1 user (it always getting first one) so if you have just one user it works - for more users i needed to do:

   SearchFilter    "(&(memberOf=cn=openvpn-access,cn=roles,dc=asdasd,dc=onelogin,dc=com)(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(cn=%u))"I addeded cn=%u
