Missing openvpn-auth-ldap.so in 1.1.8
Closed, WontfixPublicBUG

Description

Feb 27 15:11:08 AC1 openvpn-vtun0[2990]: PLUGIN_INIT: could not load plugin shared object /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-ldap.so: /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-ldap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When using OpenVPN with LDAP as authentication backup (configured via openvpn-options) the file above is missing in 1.1.8. This caused a removal of the entire OpenVPN configuration.

Event Timeline

it´s normally shipped as separate package? (that ldap plugin)

You are right, installing a fresh copy of VyOS 1.1.7 only has:

root@vyos:~# ls -al /usr/lib/openvpn
total 23
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    70 Feb 17  2016 .
drwxr-xr-x 55 root root  9548 Feb 17  2016 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 11520 Mar  9  2015 openvpn-auth-pam.so
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 10792 Mar  9  2015 openvpn-down-root.so

So I may have installed openvpn-auth-ldap manually and forgot about it. Maybe we should add it to VyOS 1.2.x by default, see T571
