CA is lost after update
-
That is strange …
did update
2.0-BETA5 (amd64)
from built on Wed Jan 12 23:13:34 EST 2011
to built on Tue Jan 18 13:16:28 EST 2011CA is NOT lost
earlier tried
2.0 BETA5 AMD64
From: Wed Jan 12 23:13:34 EST 2011
To new version: Mon Jan 17 23:09:19 EST 2011and CA was lost
-
I checked in some changes to the OpenVPN Client Export package this afternoon. It's possible the fix was there and not what is coming from the snapshot being built now.
-
I left both packages installed and upgraded one of the two boxes today to the latest snapshot a few hours ago, and it did NOT delete the CA this time! Both packages remain installed. Will upgrade the other as I have time; been a bit busy today. I did set up pfSense as the new firewall at our main office today though, not just my office, and I'm deploying pfSense on two NetGate boxes to customers in the next two days as well :-)

me too successfully upgraded without loosing CA to
2.0-BETA5 (amd64)

CA is lost when updated
2.0-BETA5 (amd64)
from built on Wed Jan 19 20:58:29 EST 2011
to built on Thu Jan 20 01:23:56 EST 2011 -
Nothing changed that would have affected that between those builds…
Anything in the system log? What does the config history show for the last few config revisions?

Hi,
my CA is lost, too.
Updated from:
2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Sun Jan 23 02:03:12 EST 2011
to:
2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Sun Jan 23 10:30:03 EST 2011Just have "OpenVPN Client Export utility" installed.
I read this earlier posts but didn't fully understand all.
If you need some files/configs please let me know step by step what should I have to do to help you. -
If you go to Diagnostics > Backup/Restore on the config history tab, if you do a diff between the config from before the update, and the current config, is the only difference the missing CA?
-
I've gone over the package code again and reviewed any place in the system that modifies the CA and came up empty yet again.
I tried several times in a row on a VM and an ALIX to reproduce it and still have never lost a CA when it upgrades…

Sorry, I don't know how to use this feature :(

Doesn't tell me much, really. To use the diff feature, select the "old" config in the first column of radio buttons, and the "new" config in the second column. Then press the diff button and it will show what changed between those two configuration files.
So in your case, click the radio selector (circle button) in the first colmn next to "1/23/11 20:57:41" and click the topmost radio selector in the second column, then press 'diff'.

I removed your cert data from that post since it really shouldn't be public, I just needed to know if the only thing missing was the CA, and that seems to be the case. Though I'm not sure why that extra setting popped up in the openvpn config for the tun device between those steps, since you didn't change any of the openvpn config, just the package (and it only reads, doesn't write)

I did an firmwareupdate on another box but without OpenVPN Client Export Utility and without OpenVPN configured.
I created a TEST-CA - then did the update - and the TEST-CA is still there:

So on that other box, if you install the client exporter and/or configure openvpn, I wonder if it gets lost.
Nothing I do (install the package, configure openvpn, etc) has lost a CA for me yet.

Hello again,
today I created a new CA on my first pfsense box, where I have OpenVPN and the OpenVPN Export Utility installed.
What I did:
Created a CA
Restarted the box - CA still exists

2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Sun Jan 23 10:30:03 EST 2011

Restore your config from the one that had the CA disappear, then install the OpenVPN export package, and then run and update. See if it disappears there.
If it does, then something else in your config is triggering it, though I have no idea what it might be.
-
Couldn't make a cross change with the config files because of different configurations on my two boxes, but on the secon box, where no OpenVPN Server or OpenVPON Export utility was installed I created a CA and then did an Update and everything seems to be fine. CA is still there.
Don't know why but now it's okay.

Next Update. next loss of CA :(

Looks like there were a lot of other cert changes in that diff… a different WebGUI cert, different CAs, etc. Not sure what you did between one place and another there.
