      Hi all,
      I am new to pfSense and I find it great…

      I am using pfsense 2.1.3 and it's openvpn integrated features (openvpn version is 2.3.2).
      Trying to use openvpn-auth-pam.so, I found that it was not inside /usr/local/lib/ . I thought that re-installing openvpn would be a good idea!!!  ::)
      So I run:

      pkg_add -r openvpn
      

      and this came with installing openvpn-2.2.2  :-[ (this was the output of openpvn –version)

      My initial problem (the lack of openvpn-auth-pam.so) was solved, but I come out with a prior openvpn verion.
      Additionally I couldn't manage to install openvpn-2.3.2 again!!! using
      [code]pkg_delete openvpn-2.2.2
      pkg_add -r openvpn

      could anyone explain to me how can I install openvpn-2.3.2 again along with openvpn-auth-pam.so in place?
      Or I have to work with openvpn-2.2.2 ?

      thanks in advance

        openvpn is integrated in the pfsense distribution, you would not want to do a normal pkg_add for it..

        What are you trying to do exactly that you feel you need openvpn-auth.pam.so ?

          thank you johnpoz for the reply…
          Actually I am trying to test 2fa login in openvpn, using pam_google_authenticator and generally I want to use pam with openvpn...
          Right now I have openvpn-2.2.2 with openvpn-auth.pam.so (by my mistake "pkg_add -r openvpn", as said in the first post) and I am testing my scenarios ...
          But I would like to know

          • how can I install again openvpn-2.3.2 (using pkg_add or some other way) ?

          • in openvpn verion 2.3.2 how can I install openvpn-auth.pam.so ?

            I show that openvpn 2.3.2 in the 8 stable branch here http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/All/openvpn-2.3.2.tbz

            you could grab that..
            I show the openvpn-plugin-auth-pam.so in there..  I just checked - its in the above link tbz file.

              I got panicked while I run```
              pkg_add openvpn

              
              anyway I did
              

              pkg_delete openvpn-2.2.2
              pkg_add -r http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/All/openvpn-2.3.2.tbz

              and now I got openvpn version 2.3.2 and also the shared object :
              

              /usr/local/lib/openvpn/plugins/openvpn-plugin-auth-pam.so

              
              thank you very much…
              I ll make my tests now...  :)
