[Bug 91615] Re: network-manager-openvpn lacking support for pkcs12

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Closing this bug, as PKCS12 support was added (upstream bug is closed,
this should have made it at least as of Lucid...)

So apparently there was a patch sent today to the mailing list:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2010-January/msg00248.html

I've linked the related bgo 534219.

Jordan, andyhull,

Patches are obviously welcome, though I believe it will be a little more
than one line of code in one if statement ;)

I'll see if I can get around to writing a quick patch for this, but this
would definitely be something that would benefit from discussion on the
NetworkManager mailing list. Once I have something that looks more or
less usable I'll post it up there, but you're welcome to bring up the
idea on the list now.

At first glance, I'd probably make it a dropdown in the UI to select the
certificate type and work from there, but I'm far from a usability
expert.

@andyhull, this is more of a feature request/wishlist item.

I wrote a blog on how to accomplish this - hopefully this can be sort of
a primer to get something going directly in nm-ovpn..

http://blog.logicalnetworking.net/index.php/technologyarticles/openvpn-
and-gnome-network-manager?blog=5

Let me know if there's anything more I can provide, this would really be
a killer feature.

[andyhull]

Any more thoughts on this?

I consider it a bug. Does it work as you might reasonably expect it to?
No. Therefore a bug.

For what its worth, it stops you connecting to Ipcop firewalls.

You can work round it, if you have a bit of OpenVPN knowledge, and the time to 
mess about, but then again, it should just work out of the box.
 
Maybe not a paper cut, perhaps more of a banana skin.

@firebird:
A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter 
on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read >
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the
papercuts project. The network-manager part is still active.

@David Siegel not true, as said you only need to add one single
parameter in the config file in order to have this working and the
graphical interface is there already, so if i am not completely mistaken
this should not require much more code lines then an if/else statement;)

This does not affect the usability of the default Ubuntu experience for
the majority of users. Also, it constitutes a new feature (new code),
not a trivially fixable usability bug. Therefore, it is not a paper cut.

yet unfortunately still no change here, 'mon guys, please do this, its
just ONE LINE in the config file that achieves this, can't be too hard
to implement so;)

[Andry]

Yes. It's true. Import does not give any errors or messages and imported
configuration has "OK" button disabled on a dialog. No help button and
no troubleshoot info available. would be really nice to support pkcs12
as it looks like pretty often used.

[Bug 91615] Re: network-manager-openvpn lacking support for pkcs12

[ryanmbruce]

I would argue that this is very much a bug.  The netman-ovpn gui in
Intrepid has an 'import' feature that fails on .ovpn files that
reference pkcs12 files because pkcs12 is quietly unsupported.  The user
is entirely left in the dark.  The import only partially works, and the
user is left to ponder why the connection will not work.

More important than wishlist, imho.  It's a big disconnect that needs to
be given more priority than it currently is (last post was over a year
ago).

[Philipp Kern]

So a new edit box needs to be created to feed `--pkcs12' to openvpn,
which deactivates ca/key/cert settings. Setting to wishlist.

[Ole-Morten Duesund]

Of course there's a workaround. There's always a workaround. But the
nice thing with the pkcs12 file is that it's just one file instead of
three.

This isn't so much a bug as a feature-request though.

Okay.  Upstream does not (yet?) support that, but I found these
instructions to work, i.e. to convert the  pkcs12 file to what
NetworkManager wants:


#v+
* openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in default.p12 -out userkey.pem
* openssl pkcs12 -nokeys -clcerts -in default.p12 -out usercert.pem
* openssl pkcs12 -nokeys -cacerts -in default.p12 -out userca.pem
#v-

Is there some workaround available here, like using a more recent

I agree, I also usually provide a zip file containing the configuration
file and a pkcs12 file to my colleagues to access the workplace's
network. This would be really useful.
