3.1.6.1 OpenVPN
Install an OpenVPN Server or subscribe to the appropriate service. Racom provides OpenVPN servers as
hardware or as hosted service.
If you have your own OpenVPN server the first step in building an OpenVPN 2.0 configuration is to establish
a PKI (public key infrastructure). The PKI consists of:
•
a separate certificate (also known as a public key) and private key for the server and each client, and
•
a master Certificate Authority (CA) certificate and key which is used to sign each of the server and
client certificates.
Prepare the OpenVPN certificate files. Use the tools and documentation that come with the OpenVPN soft-
ware. A Guide to basic RSA Key Management is found under http://openvpn.net/easyrsa.html
For alternative authentication methods see http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/howto.html#auth
For more information also see http://openvpn.net/howto.html
Please make sure that the MG101/102 system time is correct when working with OpenVPN. Otherwise
authentication issues may arise.
