OpenVPN Server Notification on Connect

joelones

Hi,
I'm trying to configure an email on connect to the pfsense openvpn server. I searched and came across a post suggesting to modify the file: /usr/local/sbin/openvpn.attributes.sh in the "client-connect" sections. I put some echos in there for output in a file, but I see nothing once a connection is established. Seems like the script is not running, but could this be only for the OpenVPN client connections and not server connections?

Edit: I may have my answer here I guess: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=95947.0

You can use up/down scripts:
Add to custom server options:

script-security 3 system;
client-connect /usr/local/sbin/up.sh;
client-disconnect /usr/local/sbin/down.sh;

up.sh:

#!/bin/sh

/full/path/to/your/console/email/app

down.sh:

#!/bin/sh

/full/path/to/your/console/email/app

mailx example:

echo "Client $common_name connected to $HOSTNAME" | mailx -r "your@mail.com" -s "Client $common_name connected to $HOSTNAME from $trusted_ip" -S smtp="your.smtp.com:25" -S smtp-auth=login -S smtp-auth-user="usr@smtp.com" -S smtp-auth-password="password" touser@mail.com > /dev/null

OpenVPN vars that you can use:
$common_name
$HOSTNAME
$ifconfig_local
$ifconfig_pool_remote_ip
$untrusted_ip
$trusted_ip
$dev
