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.
-
Has anyone tried an update to a snapshot from today, and still lost their CA? Or are you talking about things you did yesterday or before?
-
I upgraded this morning to the latest snapshot on the problem system, then upgraded again as by the time the upgrade was done the newer snapshot was ready :-) Currently on:
2.0-BETA5 (i386)
built on Fri Jan 28 05:30:15 EST 2011And both upgrades didn't kill the CA, where they have before on this machine (this is one of the ones I sent you the config and diffs from, Jim, the pf.la…. box where it happened every time I restored configs, not just upgrades).
-
OK, if it happens again, let me know.

Hi,
now using 2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Sat Jan 29 01:09:59 EST 2011 on two boxes.
box1: OpenVPN Utility installed. The last two updates were okay with no CA lost.
box2: OpenVPN Utility, cron, squid, lightsquid installed. The last two updates were okay with no CA lost, too.Seems to be fine now. Thanks :-)

I updated from the snapshot from two days ago to the current one about 8pm EST on 1/29 (Sat) evening. This time, OpenVPN Client Export is gone and the CA is gone, which I had just created from scratch. I have configs from just before and after the upgrade. I'm restoring the config from before the upgrade now (it includes the packages, so we'll see how it goes). I did load the GUI just after the upgrade and got the "please wait, reinstalling packages" screen. Does the issue only happen when I view the reinstall in process? I don't know, just thinking out loud. I don't think so though. Sadly I didn't save the output of the reinstall progress screen but I doubt it's terribly relevant. VMware Tools was installed and is still installed.
OK restore from backup done. This time, VMware Tools and OpenVPN Client Export Utility are both installed, BUT the CA is still gone. It was there just after package install…I loaded the Cert Manager page while the package reinstall was happening. It wouldn't load until the package install was complete, and as soon as it was done it immediately loaded, showing the "Package install in progress" thing at the top but then the CA was there in the list. However, when I reloaded the page within a minute, the "reinstalling packages" warning at the top was still there (odd, as it had completed already supposedly) but the CA was gone. A little while later now, reloading still shows no CA, but the warning message goes away.
So, it appears to be removing the CA in between the package reinstall progress thing says "complete" (which it did...after the reboot I clicked the pfSense logo and watched the package reinstall progress, which said complete then the CA was still there when the second tab with Cert Manager immediately finished loading), and when that warning goes away (since it was still there but the CA was gone, then the warning disappeared on the next reload a bit later). I'm not sure what happens in the code in that timeframe.

Updated from Built On: Tue Jan 25 07:56:16 EST 2011
To New version: Sat Jan 29 18:46:16 EST 2011CA is lost
installed packages:Open-VM-Tools and OpenVPN Client Export Utility

For those of you still losing the CA, can you go into the config history as described earlier in this thread and do a diff between each revision and find the one that loses the CA again? I suspect the step is the same but I'm hoping after the changes I made that something is slightly different. (Be sure to edit out the CA's crt/key fields before posting the diff here)
