Hi, To create keys for the data channel, OpenVPN currently supports two mechanisms, 'Key method 1' and the newer 'Key method 2'. Key method 2 is supported since OpenVPN 1.5, and has been the default from OpenVPN 2.0. See the manpage and/or http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/security-overview.html for a short recap of both methods.
I think the time has come to remove support for key method 1 from OpenVPN. This will allow us to remove quite some legacy code, and will probably allow us to simplify some of the surrounding code. However, before investing time in preparing a patch for this, I would like to hear if there are objections to this proposal. So, if you have a setup that uses key method 1, and you want to use that setup with OpenVPN 2.4, or have other reasons to believe we should keep supporting key method 1 in OpenVPN 2.4, please speak up. -Steffan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
