| - | ====== VPN - PKI management ====== | ||
| - | The following are command examples that may be used to create secrets for the VPN connection. | ||
| - | |||
| - | It is assumed that these commands are typed on the server on which the VPN daemon will be installed. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== IPsec / strongswan ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Root certification authority ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | First, create a root certification authority. This will be used to sign the VPN and client certificates. The certificate itself is self-signed, but it could be signed by a trusted CA (this case is not documented here). | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | # Work in /etc/ipsec.d | ||
| - | cd /etc/ipsec.d | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Create a 4096 bit private key | ||
| - | ipsec pki --gen --type rsa --size 4096 --outform pem > private/rootca.pem | ||
| - | chmod 600 private/rootca.pem | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Create a 10 year certificate | ||
| - | ipsec pki --self --ca --lifetime 3650 --in private/rootca.pem --type rsa --dn "C=FR, O=Kerlink, CN=Kerlink Root CA" --outform pem >cacerts/rootca.pem | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== VPN server certificate ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Then, create a certificate and private key that will be used by the VPN server: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | # Create a 2048 bit VPN private key | ||
| - | ipsec pki --gen --type rsa --size 2048 --outform pem >private/vpnkey.pem | ||
| - | chmod 600 private/vpnkey.pem | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Create a 2 year VPN certificate | ||
| - | ipsec pki --pub --in private/vpnkey.pem --type rsa \ | ||
| - | | ipsec pki --issue --lifetime 730 --cacert cacerts/rootca.pem --cakey private/rootca.pem --dn "C=FR, O=Kerlink, CN=vpn.hostname.tld" --flag serverAuth --flag ikeIntermediate --outform pem >certs/vpncert.pem | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Client certificates ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Still, on the server, create client secrets (certificate and private key). This step has to be repeated for each client that will connect to the VPN. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | # Create a 2048 bit client private key | ||
| - | ipsec pki --gen --type rsa --size 2048 --outform pem >private/ibts_060434.pem | ||
| - | chmod 600 private/ibts_060434.pem | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Create a 2 year client certificate | ||
| - | ipsec pki --pub --in private/ibts_060434.pem --type rsa \ | ||
| - | | ipsec pki --issue --lifetime 730 --cacert cacerts/rootca.pem --cakey private/rootca.pem --dn "C=FR, O=Kerlink, CN=klk-lpbs-060434" --outform pem > certs/ibts_060434.pem | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== P12 Packaging ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Wirnet iBTS and iFemtoCell use the secrets in a PKCS#12 encoded file. To generate one ''.p12'' file from the generated certificates/keys: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey private/ibts_060434.pem -in certs/ibts_060434.pem -name "iBTS 0x2e060434" -certfile cacerts/rootca.pem -caname "Kerlink root CA" -out ibts_060434.p12 | ||
| - | Enter Export Password: | ||
| - | Verifying - Enter Export Password: | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | The password will have to be entered in the client configuration file (the one that is ciphered, see [[wiki:vpn_client#provencore_configuration|Setting up the VPN client]]). | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== OpenVPN ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | [[https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa|EasyRSA]] can be used to quickly generate secrets for the VPN server. | ||
| - | |||
| - | It is advised to have a PKCS#12 file containing the server certificate, the CA certificate, and the server private key. This will be referenced in the ''pkcs12 <file>'' directive of the server configuration file. | ||
| - | |||
| - | A DH file has to be generated with | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | openssl dhparam -out dh2048.pem 2048 | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Next ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Next step is [[ wiki:vpn_server|VPN server configuration]]. | ||
