User certificate? about openfortivpn

[boospy]

Hello lkundrak,
thank you. It works now perfectly, after this two commands:

openssl pkcs12 -in path.p12 -out newfile.crt.pem -clcerts -nokeys
openssl pkcs12 -in path.p12 -out newfile.key.pem -nocerts -nodes

Best Regards

Is this working now? Have the same problem. All us vpn's are with clientcert. I have 2 things. The Clientcert (p12). This file is password prodected. And the CA File. So how i set this in the configfile?

host = vpngateway.bla.com
port = 10443
username = myuser
password = mypassword
trusted-cert = 12c5c8135b94f1535b4bfdaf4299e84b6146ba754d1b0631a0b2b
ca-file=/home/myuser/.fctsslvpn_trustca/ca.crt
user-cert=/home/myuser/.fctsslvpn_trustca/clientzertifikate/clientcert_auth_customer.p12

But where i can set the password for the p12?

Thanks a lot

@alfem: was thinking about implementing that.

Please let me know if https://github.com/lkundrak/openfortivpn/tree/client-ssl-cert works for you.

@alfem ping?

[alfem]

Sorry, I had not access to my vpn until now.

I am testing your fork, with my user cert (keyword protected) and get this error:

ERROR: SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file: error:140AD009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file:PEM lib

I have checked that my cert and keyword work ok with forticlient. The same error comes out when I do not use the --user-key parameter

[lkundrak]

Hi. Is the certificate a PEM file? Does it begin with a "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" line?

[alfem]

Uh, I am afraid it is a pkcs12. This is the format our Government certs are issued.

I will try to convert it and test again.

[alfem]

It is (almost) working now!

openfortivpn tries to open the connection, but fails with these messages (besides, I have to enter my private key pass phrase thrice):

@boospy You could remove the password from the pkcs12 certificate. I wouldn't recommend it though, for obvious reasons.

[boospy]

Hello ckujau,

i removed the pass from pkcs file. But get an error.

WARN:   Bad key in config file: "user-cert".
WARN:   Could not load config file "/home/myuser/MYHOME/openfortivpn-configs/vpntest.conf" (No such file or directory).
INFO:   Connected to gateway.
ERROR:  Could not authenticate to gateway (No cookie given).
INFO:   Closed connection to gateway.
INFO:   Logged out.

The file exist and the cacert is also ok. So what? I had the same errormessage before i changed the pkcs file.

Thanks a lot :)

[ckujau]

Bad key in config file: "user-cert" looks as if the client-ssl-cert branch hadn't been applied or isn't working. Maybe tell @lkundrak about this?

[boospy]

I've send @lkundrak an email.

[lkundrak]

@boospy, thanks for the message.

@ckujau, @boospy, please try out this: https://github.com/adrienverge/openfortivpn/tree/lr/ssl-config-file

Previously the ca-file, user-key and user-cert options were only accepted from the command line (contrary to the documentation). Also the error handling was not exactly correct, which is why you got the unhelpful error message.

[alfem]

Tested and working here.

Sudo and a password-free user private key are both required.

When I tried with a password protected private key file, the client ask me to enter the password twice in order to connect, and once again to disconnect (weird):

Hi,
This worked perfectly first time! I cannot thank you enough for this project, thank you! I pulled apart the official Linux FortiClient on CentOS 7 and it is awful. Only allows for PKCS12 file, yuck.
You sir, are great.
Cheers.
