Softether OpenVPN with certificate and password auth

[Pupp3tm4st3r]

Hi there,

my name is Simon, I´m 26 years old and just found SoftEther VPN this weekend. I was looking for a new VPN Server for the company I work in. The established one is a OpenVPN on a Ubuntu Server, not very nice to use. Target is to build a machine/server, that is easy to use, even for my trainee.

In my company we have an almost completely Windows structure, so I decided to install SoftEther VPN on a Windows Server 2012 R2. Now the interesting part. I managed to install SoftEther VPN Server, set it up and connected remote, no problem there, nice work, just love it!

Now the tricky part: Is it possible to use OpenVPN with username/password authentication and a certificate per user? The sample configuration has the gernerated server certificate that I created inline, compared it. So I would have to "integrate" the client certificates into the ovpn config file I guess.

Is this even possible? [username/password auth. and certifiacte?] Ah, and another thing, I changed the cipher for OpenVPN from AES-128-CBC to AES-256-CBC, but the sample configuration file [SoftEther created a new one], still shows AES-128-CBC, so do I have to change this manually?

Thanks and best regards
Simon

No Idea anyone?

well the sample server config should have your server certificate embedded in it
this certificate is not unique per user but each user has their own username/password
keep in mind that multiple people can log in at the same time this way...

yeah, the server certificate is embedded, but by now we use the version with certificates per user [only certificates], is there no way of using certificates and user/pass auth?

Yes. VPN server ignores a client certificate.

Ok,

then I´ll have to live with the username/password variant.

Thanks a lot!

Sorry,

I have a problem, embedding certificates of softether server to openvpn configuration file.

Anyone help me?

[thisjun]

What problem do you have?

[Budi]

Sorry too late reply Mr. Thisjun.
It was solved. Before I can't connect openvpn client to softether vpnserver because the port for this protocol not yet open. After I open it, its solve. I open 1194 port for openvpn protocol.

Thank you
