Bug: Connman OpenVPN
asked 2014-01-06 23:22:07 +0300
Hi,
there seems to be a bug in connman for openvpn - here is what I did find out till now:
I'm working on a OpenVPN client for my Jolla, but it seems that connman is bugging around here:
this is the comman which will be used by connman:
openvpn --remote olz.dyndns.org --ca /home/nemo/OpenVPN/ca.crt --cert /home/nemo/OpenVPN/olz_mobile.crt --key /home/nemo/OpenVPN/olz_mobile.key -- comp-lzo --nobind --persist-key --client --script-security 2 --up /usr/lib/connman/scripts/openvpn-script --up-restart --setenv CONNMAN_BUSNAME :1.71 --setenv CONNMAN_INTERFACE net.connman.Task --setenv CONNMAN_PATH /task/0 --dev vpn0 --dev-type tun --persist-tun --route-noexec --ifconfig- noexec --ping-restart 0
As it wasn't able to connect I've tried to run this command on my own:
[root@localhost OpenVPN]# openvpn --remote olz.dyndns.org --ca /home/nemo/OpenVPN/ca.crt --cert /home/nemo/OpenVPN/olz_mobile.crt --key /home/nemo/OpenVPN/olz_mobile.key --comp-lzo --nobind --persist-key --client --script-security 2 --up /usr/lib/connman/scripts/openvpn-script --up-restart --setenv CONNMAN_BUSNAME :1.71 --setenv CONNMAN_INTERFACE net.connman.Task -- setenv CONNMAN_PATH /task/0 --dev vpn0 --dev-type tun --persist-tun --route- noexec --ifconfig-noexec --ping-restart 0 Sun Jan 5 01:41:41 2014 OpenVPN 2.2.2 armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabi [SSL] [LZO2] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [eurephia] built on Nov 1 2013 Sun Jan 5 01:41:41 2014 WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled.

The issue is related to the script:
/usr/lib/connman/scripts/openvpn-script
which just seems to do nothing.
When I'm just removing the options:
--route-noexec --ifconfig-noexec
from the command above it is connecting fine:

Would be great to get some help here
BR,

nice to see someone working on openvpn for jolla.
naytsyrhc ( 2014-01-07 20:29:09 +0300 )editYep I'm nearly finished with the first working release but the connman bug is a showstopper to proceed.
MFulz ( 2014-01-07 21:18:59 +0300 )editAre you working on a GUI or just get openVPN to work. From this question it seems that openvpn is working already.
naytsyrhc ( 2014-01-23 00:39:37 +0300 )editFirst: I'm working on GUI. Second: As root it is working from CLI yes. But not via connman. You can add / remove connections via connman (dbus) without problems, but because of the bug I've reported you can't connect. Neither as user nor as root.
MFulz ( 2014-01-23 14:28:06 +0300 )editOk. That's great (that you're working on GUI). Hope this bug will get fixed soon.
