Hi Guys Having a few problems with setting up a VPN gateway on Linux, specifically a debian firewall box and having windows 2000 boxes authenticate using certs.
I have generated a cert for the gateway machine using the openssl packages and installed it. I have also configured freeswan to the best of my knowledge and then generated a cert for a test windows 2000 machine and afaik they are not authenticating. Here is a copy of the freeswan config file on the VPN gateway: # /etc/ipsec.conf - FreeS/WAN IPsec configuration file # More elaborate and more varied sample configurations can be found # in FreeS/WAN's doc/examples file, and in the HTML documentation. # basic configuration config setup interfaces=%defaultroute klipsdebug=none plutodebug=none plutoload=%search plutostart=%search uniqueids=yes # defaults for subsequent connection descriptions # (mostly to fix internal defaults which, in retrospect, were badly chosen) conn %default keyingtries=2 compress=yes disablearrivalcheck=no authby=rsasig leftrsasigkey=%cert rightrsasigkey=%cert conn roadwarrior-net leftsubnet=10.3.0.0/23 also=roadwarrior conn roadwarrior right=%any left=%defaultroute leftcert=gateway.pem auto=add pfs=yes And here is a copy of the ipsec.conf file on the windows 2000 box: # /etc/ipsec.conf - FreeS/WAN IPsec configuration file # More elaborate and more varied sample configurations can be found # in FreeS/WAN's doc/examples file, and in the HTML documentation. # basic configuration config setup interfaces=%defaultroute klipsdebug=none plutodebug=none plutoload=%search plutostart=%search uniqueids=yes # defaults for subsequent connection descriptions # (mostly to fix internal defaults which, in retrospect, were badly chosen) conn %default keyingtries=2 compress=yes disablearrivalcheck=no authby=rsasig leftrsasigkey=%cert rightrsasigkey=%cert conn roadwarrior-net leftsubnet=10.3.0.0/23 also=roadwarrior conn roadwarrior right=%any left=%defaultroute leftcert=gw.frame.co.za.pem auto=add pfs=yes Any help would be appreciated. ..c
