NAME
ocserv - OpenConnect VPN server

SYNOPSIS
ocserv [ -flag [value] | --option-name[[=| ]value] ]...

OpenConnect VPN server (ocserv) is a VPN server compatible with the OpenConnect VPN client. It follows the AnyConnect VPN protocol which is used by several CISCO routers.

DESCRIPTION
This is a standalone server that reads a configuration file (see below for more details), and waits for client connections. Log messages are directed to the syslog daemon facility.

The server maintains two connections/channels with the client. The main VPN channel is established over TCP, using HTTP and TLS. This is the control channel as well as the backup data channel. After its establishment a UDP channel using DTLS is initiated which serves as the main data channel. If the UDP channel fails to establish or is temporarily unavailable the backup channel over TCP/TLS is being used.

This server supports multiple authentication methods, including PAM and certificate authentication. Authenticated users are assigned an unprivileged worker process and obtain a networking (tun) device and an IP from a configurable pool of addresses.

Once authenticated, the server provides the client with an IP address and a list of routes that it may access. In order to allow high-speed transfers the server does not process or filter packets. It is expected that the server has or will set up any required routes or firewall rules.

It is possible to separate users into groups, which are either present on their certificate, or presented on login for the user to choose. That way a user may take advantage of the different settings that may apply per group. See the comments on the configuration file for more information.

It is also possible to run hostname-based virtual servers which could support different authentication methods. When multiple virtual servers are present clients are distinguished by the advertised server name over TLS (SNI). Clients which do not support or sent SNI, are directed to the default server.

AUTHENTICATION
Users can be authenticated in multiple ways, which are explained in the following paragraphs. Connected users can be managed using the occtl tool.

  Password authentication
If your system supports Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM), then ocserv will take advantage of it to password authenticate its users. Otherwise a plain password file similar to the UNIX password file is also supported. In that case the 'ocpasswd' tool can be used for its management. Note that password authentication can be used in conjunction with certificate authentication.

  GSSAPI authentication
ocserv will take advantage of the MIT Kerberos project GSSAPI libraries, and allow authentication using any method GSSAPI supports. That is, mainly, Kerberos authentication. That is often more useful to be combined with PAM or other password authentication methods so that a fallback mechanism can be used when GSSAPI fails (e.g., when the user doesn't already have a Kerberos ticket). The GSSAPI authentication is implemented using SPNEGO over HTTP (RFC4559).

  Public key (certificate) authentication
Public key authentication allows the user to be authenticated by the possession of the private key that corresponds to a known to the server public key. That allows the usage of common smart cards for user authentication.

In ocserv, a certificate authority (CA) is used to sign the client certificates. That certificate authority can be local, used only by the server to sign its user's known public keys which are then given to users in a form of certificates. That authority need also provide a CRL to allow the server to reject the revoked clients (see ca-cert, crl).

In certificate authentication each client presents a certificate and signs data provided by the server, as part of TLS authentication, to prove his possession of the corresponding private key. The certificate need also contain user identifying information, for example, the user ID of the client must be embedded in the certificate's Distinguished Name (DN), i.e., in the Common Name, or UID fields. For the server to read the name, the cert-user-oid configuration option must be set.

The following examples demonstrate how to use certtool from GnuTLS to generate such CA.

  Generating the CA
$ certtool --generate-privkey --outfile ca-key.pem
$ cat << _EOF_ >ca.tmpl
cn = "VPN CA"
organization = "Big Corp"
serial = 1
expiration_days = -1
ca
signing_key
cert_signing_key
crl_signing_key
_EOF_
$ certtool --generate-self-signed --load-privkey ca-key.pem \
           --template ca.tmpl --outfile ca-cert.pem

  Generating a local server certificate
The following example generates the server key and certificate pair. The key generated is an RSA one, but different types can be used by specifying the 'ecdsa' or 'dsa' options to certtool.

    $ certtool --generate-privkey --outfile server-key.pem
    $ cat << _EOF_ >server.tmpl
    cn = "VPN server"
    dns_name = "www.example.com"
    dns_name = "vpn1.example.com"
    #ip_address = "1.2.3.4"
    organization = "MyCompany"
    expiration_days = -1
    signing_key
    encryption_key #only if the generated key is an RSA one
    tls_www_server
    _EOF_
    $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey server-key.pem \
               --load-ca-certificate ca-cert.pem --load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \
               --template server.tmpl --outfile server-cert.pem

From this point the clients need ca-cert.pem to be able to securely connect to the server.

Note that it is a better practice to use two separate RSA keys, one with the signing_key option and another with the encryption_key.

  Generating an external CA-signed server certificate
$ certtool --generate-privkey --outfile server-key.pem
$ cat << _EOF_ >server.tmpl
cn = "My server"
dns_name = "www.example.com"
organization = "MyCompany"
expiration_days = -1
signing_key
encryption_key #only if the generated key is an RSA one
tls_www_server
_EOF_
$ certtool --generate-request --load-privkey server-key.pem \
           --template server.tmpl --outfile server-cert.csr

At this point you need to provide the server-cert.csr to your CA, and they will send you the server certificate.

  Generating the client certificates
Note that it is recommended to leave detailed personal information out of the certificate as it is sent in clear during TLS authentication. The following process generates a certificate and converts it to PKCS #12 that is protected by a PIN and most clients are able to import (the 3DES cipher is used in the example because it is supported by far more devices than AES).

    $ certtool --generate-privkey --outfile user-key.pem
    $ cat << _EOF_ >user.tmpl
    dn = "cn=Full Name,O=Example Org,UID=username"
    #if usernames are SAN(rfc822name) email addresses
    #email = "username@example.com"
    expiration_days = 365
    signing_key
    tls_www_client
    _EOF_
    $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey user-key.pem \
               --load-ca-certificate ca-cert.pem --load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \
               --template user.tmpl --outfile user-cert.pem
    $ certtool --to-p12 --load-privkey user-key.pem \
               --pkcs-cipher 3des-pkcs12 \
               --load-certificate user-cert.pem \
               --outfile user.p12 --outder

  Revoking a client certificate
To revoke the previous client certificate, i.e., preventing the user from accessing the VPN resources prior to its certificate expiration, use:

    $ cat << _EOF_ >crl.tmpl
    crl_next_update = 365
    crl_number = 1
    _EOF_
    $ cat user-cert.pem >>revoked.pem
    $ certtool --generate-crl --load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \
               --load-ca-certificate ca-cert.pem --load-certificate revoked.pem \
               --template crl.tmpl --outfile crl.pem

After that you may want to notify ocserv of the new CRL by using the HUP signal, or wait for it to reload it.

When there are no revoked certificates an empty revocation list should be generated as follows.

    $ certtool --generate-crl --load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \
               --load-ca-certificate ca-cert.pem \
               --template crl.tmpl --outfile crl.pem

FILES

  ocserv's configuration file format
By default, if no other file is specified, ocserv looks for its configuration file at /etc/ocserv/ocserv.conf. An example configuration file follows.

    ### The following directives do not change with server reload.
    # User authentication method. To require multiple methods to be
    # used for the user to login, add multiple auth directives. The values
    # in the 'auth' directive are AND composed (if multiple all must
    # succeed).
    # Available options: certificate, plain, pam, radius, gssapi.
    # Note that authentication methods utilizing passwords cannot be
    # combined (e.g., the plain, pam or radius methods).
    # certificate:
    #  This indicates that all connecting users must present a certificate.
    #  The username and user group will be then extracted from it (see
    #  cert-user-oid and cert-group-oid). The certificate to be accepted
    #  it must be signed by the CA certificate as specified in 'ca-cert' and
    #  it must not be listed in the CRL, as specified by the 'crl' option.
    #
    # pam[gid-min=1000]:
    #  This enabled PAM authentication of the user. The gid-min option is used
    # by auto-select-group option, in order to select the minimum valid group ID.
    #
    # plain[passwd=/etc/ocserv/ocpasswd,otp=/etc/ocserv/users.otp]
    #  The plain option requires specifying a password file which contains
    # entries of the following format.
    # "username:groupname1,groupname2:encoded-password"
    # One entry must be listed per line, and 'ocpasswd' should be used
    # to generate password entries. The 'otp' suboption allows one to specify
    # an oath password file to be used for one time passwords; the format of
    # the file is described in https://github.com/archiecobbs/mod-authn-otp/wiki/UsersFile
    #
    # radius[config=/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf,groupconfig=true,nas-identifier=name]:
    #  The radius option requires specifying freeradius-client configuration
    # file. If the groupconfig option is set, then config-per-user/group will be overridden,
    # and all configuration will be read from radius. That also includes the
    # Acct-Interim-Interval, and Session-Timeout values.
    #
    # See doc/README-radius.md for the supported radius configuration attributes.
    #
    # gssapi[keytab=/etc/key.tab,require-local-user-map=true,tgt-freshness-time=900]
    #  The gssapi option allows one to use authentication methods supported by GSSAPI,
    # such as Kerberos tickets with ocserv. It should be best used as an alternative
    # to PAM (i.e., have pam in auth and gssapi in enable-auth), to allow users with
    # tickets and without tickets to login. The default value for require-local-user-map
    # is true. The 'tgt-freshness-time' if set, it would require the TGT tickets presented
    # to have been issued within the provided number of seconds. That option is used to
    # restrict logins even if the KDC provides long time TGT tickets.
    #auth = "pam"
    #auth = "pam[gid-min=1000]"
    #auth = "plain[passwd=./sample.passwd,otp=./sample.otp]"
    auth = "plain[passwd=./sample.passwd]"
    #auth = "certificate"
    #auth = "radius[config=/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf,groupconfig=true]"
    # Specify alternative authentication methods that are sufficient
    # for authentication. That is, if set, any of the methods enabled
    # will be sufficient to login, irrespective of the main 'auth' entries.
    # When multiple options are present, they are OR composed (any of them
    # succeeding allows login).
    #enable-auth = "certificate"
    #enable-auth = "gssapi"
    #enable-auth = "gssapi[keytab=/etc/key.tab,require-local-user-map=true,tgt-freshness-time=900]"
    # Accounting methods available:
    # radius: can be combined with any authentication method, it provides
    #      radius accounting to available users (see also stats-report-time).
    #
    # pam: can be combined with any authentication method, it provides
    #      a validation of the connecting user's name using PAM. It is
    #      superfluous to use this method when authentication is already
    #      PAM.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
Note that while this server utilizes privilege separation and all authentication occurs on the security module, due to a TLS protocol limitation this does not apply for TLS client certificate authentication. To take advantage of privilege separation combine certificate and password authentication.

NETWORKING CONSIDERATIONS
In certain setups, where a firewall may be blocking ICMP responses, setting the MSS of TCP connections to MTU will eliminate the "black hole" connection issues. See http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.cookbook.mtu-mss.html for instructions to enable it on a Linux system.
