Connman configuration file format for VPN
*****************************************
Connman VPN uses configuration files to provision existing providers.
vpnd will be looking for its configuration files at VPN_STORAGEDIR
which by default points to /var/lib/connman-vpn. Configuration file names
must not include other characters than letters or numbers and must have
a .config suffix. Those configuration files are text files with a simple
key-value pair format organized into sections. Values do not comprise leading
trailing whitespace. We typically have one file per provisioned network.
If the config file is removed, then vpnd tries to remove the
provisioned service. If an individual service entry inside a config is removed,
then the corresponding provisioned service is removed. If a service
section is changed, then the corresponding service is removed and immediately
re-provisioned.
Global section [global]
=======================
These files can have an optional global section describing the actual file.
The two allowed fields for this section are:
- Name: Name of the network.
- Description: Description of the network.
Provider section [provider_*]
=============================
Each provisioned provider must start with the [provider_*] tag.
Replace * with an identifier unique to the config file.
Allowed fields:
- Type: Provider type. Value of OpenConnect, OpenVPN, VPNC, L2TP or PPTP
VPN related parameters (M = mandatory, O = optional):
- Name: A user defined name for the VPN (M)
- Host: VPN server IP address (M)
- Domain: Domain name for the VPN service (M)
- Networks: The networks behind the VPN link can be defined here. This can
be missing if all traffic should go via VPN tunnel. If there are more
than one network, then separate them by comma. Format of the entry
is network/netmask/gateway. The gateway can be left out. (O)
Example: 192.168.100.0/24/10.1.0.1,192.168.200.0/255.255.255.0/10.1.0.2
For IPv6 addresses only prefix length is accepted like this 2001:db8::1/64
OpenConnect VPN supports following options (see openconnect(8) for details):
Option name OpenConnect option Description
OpenConnect.ServerCert --servercert SHA1 certificate fingerprint of the
final VPN server after possible web
authentication login, selection and
redirection (O)
OpenConnect.CACert --cafile File containing other Certificate
Authorities in addition to the ones
in the system trust database (O)
OpenConnect.ClientCert --certificate Client certificate file, if needed
by web authentication (O)
VPN.MTU --mtu Request MTU from server as the MTU
of the tunnel (O)
OpenConnect.Cookie --cookie-on-stdin Cookie received as a result of the
web authentication. As the cookie
lifetime can be very limited, it
does not usually make sense to add
it into the configuration file (O)
OpenConnect.VPNHost The final VPN server to use after
completing the web authentication.
Only usable for extremely simple VPN
configurations and should normally
be set only via the VPN Agent API.
If OpenConnect.Cookie or OpenConnect.ServerCert are missing, the VPN Agent will
be contacted to supply the information.
OpenVPN VPN supports following options (see openvpn(8) for details):
Option name OpenVPN option Description
OpenVPN.CACert --ca Certificate authority file (M)

either server or client (O)

--auth-user-pass value (O)

with X509 name or common name equal
to name parameter (O)

OpenVPN.TLSAuthDir sub-option of --tls-remote (O)
OpenVPN.Cipher --cipher Encrypt packets with cipher algorithm
given as parameter (O)

message digest algorithm alg (O)
OpenVPN.CompLZO --comp-lzo Use fast LZO compression. Value can
be "yes", "no", or "adaptive". Default
is adaptive (O)
OpenVPN.RemoteCertTls --remote-cert-tls Require that peer certificate was
signed based on RFC3280 TLS rules.
Value is "client" or "server" (O)
OpenVPN.ConfigFile --config OpenVPN config file that can contain
extra options not supported by OpenVPN
plugin (O)
