Topic: openvpn --enable-password-save

The content of this topic has been archived on 18 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I have just tried the openvpn on kamikaze.  I am hitting a problem.
I believe it is because somehow my script and usage requires
compilation 'configure' to turn on --enable-password-save, ie read username/password from file.

Wonder if someone could have the ipkg packages updated to
include that compile option ? Or otherwise I will have to get into
the BIG motion of compiling openvpn from source ...... :-(

Best regards.

I did not even get the package info from the kamikaze distribution.
When I check the package directory, there is no openvpn there.

:-(

Hi,

in the package-directory of the kamikaze-tree are only some basic packages for the core-system.
you should look into the package repository https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages/

and for building kamikaze, look in this tread:
http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=9180

but if you only want to recompile one package, than you can use the SDK for your kamikaze-version and platform (under downloads)

or you use certificates in openvpn, which would be more secure, and you wouldn´t need to recompile the openvpn-package at all  smile

The discussion might have continued from here.
