OpenVPN

Installing required dependencies

yum install openvpn easy-rsa

Continue with the process on the primary cluster node where the /sync resource is mounted

Generate Keys and Certificates

As OpenVPN runs as a cluster resource, the certificates and configuration files need to be on a drbd resource and accessible by all cluster nodes.

#create directory
mkdir -p /sync/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys
cp -rf /usr/share/easy-rsa/2.0/* /sync/openvpn/easy-rsa

#adapt variables to your environment
nano -w /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars
cp /sync/openvpn/easy-rsa/openssl-1.0.0.cnf /sync/openvpn/easy-rsa/openssl.cnf
cd /sync/openvpn/easy-rsa
source ./vars
./clean-all

#create certificate
./build-ca
./build-key-server server
./build-dh
openvpn --genkey --secret /sync/openvpn/ta.key
cd /sync/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys
cp dh2048.pem ca.crt server.crt server.key /sync/openvpn

Configure OpenVPN server

/sync/openvpn/server.conf

Create client

#create client certificate
cd /sync/openvpn/easy-rsa
./build-key CLIENT_NAME

#provide your client with the ca.crt, CLIENT.key, CLIENT.crt and following configuration

client.conf

Enable OpenVPN server

systemctl -f enable openvpn@server.service
systemctl start openvpn@server.service

Add OpenVPN as cluster resource
