CA is lost after update
-
Yeah it seems to be something about the combination of reinstalling the OpenVPN Client Export package only during the firmware upgrade cycle that kills it.
Still no idea why…
EDIT: It's really quite puzzling because nothing in the package modifies the CA, only reads, and it doesn't do either one when installing or uninstalling.
Can someone who is able to reproduce this remove the client export package and try a couple updates without it installed? Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.
-
Tried in situation when only one of those packages installed. In either way CA is lost.
-
How about with no packages installed?
-
Yes I already wrote. It is OK. CA is not lost when updating with NO package installed
-
When the packages reinstall there are several config writes, can someone do a diff from before the upgrade to each of those and see at exactly which step the CA disappears?
-
tried updating when only one package "The Country Block" is installed. CA disappeared.
here goes diff

So if you do a diff to the config labeled "intermediate config write" does it have the CA in it? or is it lost then?
-
CA is lost after first (system): Intermediate config write during package removal for Country Block.

Interesting… And did you do that from the GUI or during an upgrade?
-
those lines are one after another and update done from GUI
-
ok, got it. One more question: Were you reinstalling the package or deleting it? (which button did you click? X? pkg? xml?)
-
On the systems where you can reproduce this problem, were they fresh installs of 2.0 or upgraded from 1.2.3?
-

this line "(system): Intermediate config write during package removal for Country Block." is written when update ir done. Then reinstall of packages is done automatically. When I successfully updated I did manual remove pressing X then update from GUI and then manual install of packages. This way CA was NOT lost.
The system is fresh installed 2.0 and aprox 10 updates from GUI after. -
Same issue here (I opened bug 1231 about this today), and I've got just the OpenVPN Exporter installed. I explicitly backed up my config, upgraded to the absolute latest build (as of this posting), and found the CA missing.
Before the next daily release / upgrade I'll try removing the OpenVPN package and see what the result is. As a test I tried removing and installing the OpenVPN Exporter, but that didn't cause the same result.
-
Like myka said in some posts before, I didn't lose my CA if I uninstall OpenVPN Export Utility before an update. Strange …
-
Hi again,
before the last snapshot updates I deleted alway the OpenVPN Export Utility, updated pfsense and then my CA was still there. Today I deinstalled OpenVPN Utility again, but installed Unbound package (didn't configure something) and then did a firmware update and …. CA disappeared.
Perhaps with the new debugging system in the new snapshot someone can find this strange behaviour.
-
That was expected. It isn't tied to the OpenVPN client export package, but having any package installed.
It's something with the package reinstall routine that happens at bootup. Though what, exactly, remains mysterious.
-
I made a commit that I suspect might make at least some difference, though I won't know for sure until the new snapshots are up.
-
On the system that was giving me the most trouble, I haven't updated in a few days. The CA was still gone from the last time I'd had the issue (I didn't reimport it). I created a new internal CA, left the two packages (OpenVPN Export and VMware Tools) installed, and rebooted. The CA I created stayed there as did both packages, after the upgrade/reboot. I'll try again in a day or two :-)

The same I also tried. Then I lost CA in the update after.
