wht is this openvpn model? is it client to client, or server bridge, or route bridge?

Are you reading all the posts ? ....or are you just reading the last post ?
You need to scroll back because different people can make posts so you might get 2 or 3 or 4 replies, & you seem to be only reading the last post.
See contrib wiki articles on different variants of openvpn contribs that exist, covering bridge, routed & site to site, refer my earlier post.

wht is this openvpn model? is it client to client, or server bridge, or route bridge?

Looking at this client config, this is definitely not using the bridge mode. Most likely, the server was installed using this how to: http://wiki.contribs.org/OpenVPN

There's no client side authentication (except login/password), but you still need to recover the certificate which were used on the server side (or you'll have to update the CA on every client)

Exactly you are correct. I want to recover this server. I can send clients the new ovpn files created by server ca. But i want them to use domain uername and passwords to connect to this vpn. Thanks

your best bet, as I told you, is to try to restore a backup on a new install of SME8.1

moreover, you'd try to find what contrib has been installed on your NethService

Ok guys, I am downloading sme 9.0 i386 now. I will install this server as Gateway domain and when it is come to Openvpn I will contact you. thanks

Ok guys, I am downloading sme 9.0 i386 now.

take a 64 bit

My question is  that Sme server supports PPTP AND SSH by default. But we can install openvpn on it. But if I installed openvpn can i use openvpn to connect to sme server using its domain usernames and passwords by windows 7 clients.
Because everybody in my company is adopted to use the way it was in nethservice. But My effort is impliment the sme server 9.x as it is the newest and most available helps via forums. someone answer me yes or no to this question. thanks.

[Daniel B.]

Yes it's possible. Look in the wiki for the openvpn bridge contrib for example

[smnirosh]

Dear all, i have installed the sme server 9.0 and configured it as a samba server. Then my point of openvpn. I followed all the information of vpn bridge documentation recommended by daniel. I installed vpn-bridge and phpki before installing openvpn. Is it no problem?


But it says when i connect "tls handshake error". What would be the problem

Is there anything do which is not mentioned in the tutorial?

[Daniel B.]

There's not enough info for us to help you. There's probably a lot more info in either your client or your server's log which could help

[smnirosh]

Ok. I am very sorry. I will supply u more info later.

Can u give me a little information;

What would be installed first ,

1. Openvpn-bridge
2. Openvpn software
3. Phpki

I think i missed the sequence.

[Daniel B.]

There's no sequence to follow. No matter which order you've installed the components,  it should just work. Just carefully follow the wiki guide

[smnirosh]

Thanks very much. I will reconfigure it tomorrow morning when i got office.

......I will reconfigure it .......

You might use another word than "reconfigure" when talking about installing & configuring contribs/apps etc,  as reconfigure has a special meaning in SME server
ie it means to run these commands
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

[smnirosh]

All my friends, i installed smeserver and configured it as a openvpn server and it worked as i planned. Thanks for the support given by all of u. Lot of happy to me
