The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.5.4. This release include a number of fixes and small improvements. One of the fixes is to password prompting on windows console when stderr redirection is in use - this breaks 2.5.x on Win11/ARM, and might also break on Win11/amd64. Windows executable and libraries are now built natively on Windows using MSVC, not cross-compiled on Linux as with earlier 2.5 releases. Windows installers include updated OpenSSL and new OpenVPN GUI. The latter includes several improvements, the most important of which is the ability to import profiles from URLs where available. Installer version I602 fixes loading of pkcs11 files on Windows. Installer version I603 fixes a bug in the version number as seen by Windows (was 2.5..4, not 2.5.4). Installer I604 fixes some small Windows issues.
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.5.2. It fixes two related security vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-15078) which under very specific circumstances allow tricking a server using delayed authentication (plugin or management) into returning a PUSH_REPLY before the AUTH_FAILED message, which can possibly be used to gather information about a VPN setup. In combination with "--auth-gen-token" or a user-specific token auth solution it can be possible to get access to a VPN with an otherwise-invalid account. OpenVPN 2.5.2 also includes other bug fixes and improvements. Updated OpenSSL and OpenVPN GUI are included in Windows installers.
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.4.11. It fixes two related security vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-15078) which under very specific circumstances allow tricking a server using delayed authentication (plugin or management) into returning a PUSH_REPLY before the AUTH_FAILED message, which can possibly be used to gather information about a VPN setup. This release also includes other bug fixes and improvements. The I602 Windows installers fix a possible security issue with OpenSSL config autoloading on Windows (CVE-2021-3606). Updated OpenSSL and OpenVPN GUI are included in Windows installers.
Important: you will need to use the correct installer for your operating system. The Windows 10 installer works on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016/2019. The Windows 7 installer will work on Windows 7/8/8.1/Server 2012r2. This is because of Microsoft's driver signing requirements are different for kernel-mode devices drivers, which in our case affects OpenVPN's tap driver (tap-windows6).
Important: you will need to use the correct installer for your operating system. The Windows 10 installer will not work on Windows 7/8/8.1/Server 2012r2. This is because Microsoft's driver signing requirements and tap-windows6. For the same reason you need to use an older installer with Windows Server 2016. This older installer has a local privilege escalation vulnerability issue which we cannot resolve for Windows Server 2016 until tap-windows6 passes the HLK test suite on that platform. In the meanwhile we recommend Windows Server 2016 users to avoid installing OpenVPN/tap-windows6 driver on hosts where all users can't be trusted. Users of Windows 7-10 and Server 2012r2 are recommended to update to latest installers as soon as possible.
This is primarily a maintenance release with minor bugfixes and improvements, and one security relevant fix for the Windows Interactive Service. Windows installer includes updated OpenVPN GUI and OpenSSL. Installer I601 included tap-windows6 driver 9.22.1 which had one security fix and dropped Windows Vista support. However, in installer I602 we had to revert back to tap-windows 9.21.2 due to driver getting reject on freshly installed Windows 10 rev 1607 and later when Secure Boot was enabled. The failure was due to the new, more strict driver signing requirements. The 9.22.1 version of the driver is in the process of getting approved and signed by Microsoft and will be bundled in an upcoming Windows installer.
I am upgrading my win2k8 AD/DC server to a win2012r2. I've got everything migrated over and ready to go but I am struggling to figure out how to change the primary DNS server. Right now primary DNS is the old win2k8 sever at 10.100.1.2 and secondary is from ISP. Now I am trying to get new server 10.100.1.3 to be the primary DNS. I've tried changing the fwd look up zone on the new server but when I renew/release dhcp lease it's still showing 10.100.1.2 for primary and ISP for secondary. How do I update this?
The next question is what is your DHCP server? If it is a Windows server then open the DHCP management tool. Connect to your DHCP server by right clicking on the root object labeled "DHCP" then choosing Manage Authorized Servers. Choose the correct DHCP sever you are managing.
Bill's point is that you should NEVER use an external, Internet DNS server for internal DNS lookups. They'll fail, which will cause a host of issues. Use external DNS servers as forwarders on your internal DNS.
Once you have DNS straight on your serve as above, you need to edit your DHCP settings so that machines that get their address from DHCP get the right address. Just open up DHCP manager, go to Scope and Scope Options. Double click on option 006 DNS servers. Make the change and test your work.
In some organizations, Group Policy or other system management solutions are used to standardize permissions and accounts on application servers. If your organization runs a such a solution, be sure to configure the system to accommodate the folder permissions required by the Run As service account. See Verify Folder Permissions.
I am single developer, working on multiple projects in Delphi under Windows. I have two PC's on which I develop (desktop & laptop) and a Windows 2016 server. Ideally I would like to have central repositories on the server and then push/pull from/to either development PC (as if there are two developers).
In the link you have provided windows filesharing is used and your central repositories are just folders on a fileshare (e.g. \\server\repos). So it is like working with repos on your local machines. But I do not know how good git and the smb protocol work together. You may run into problems on simultaneous access to a repo.
In VS Code, we want users to seamlessly leverage the environments that make them the most productive. The VS Code Remote Development extensions allow you to work in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), remote machines via SSH, and dev containers directly from VS Code. These extensions install a server on the remote environment, allowing local VS Code to smoothly interact with remote source code and runtimes.
We now provide a standalone "VS Code Server," which is a service built off the same underlying server used by the remote extensions, plus some additional functionality, like an interactive CLI and facilitating secure connections to vscode.dev.
Settings Sync requires authentication against a Settings Sync server. The corresponding secret is persisted on the server. This requires to set up a keyring on the server. When the keyring is not set up, the VS Code Server falls back to an in-memory secret stored on the server. In this case, secrets are only persisted during the lifetime of the server.
Cisco Meraki MR access points (APs) offer a number of authentication methods for wireless association, including the use of external authentication servers to support WiFi Protected Access 2 - Enterprise (WPA2-Enterprise). This article outlines dashboard configuration to use a RADIUS server for WPA2-Enterprise authentication, RADIUS server requirements, and an example server configuration using Windows Network Policy Server (NPS).
WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1X authentication can be used to authenticate users or computers in a domain. The supplicant (wireless client) authenticates against the RADIUS server (authentication server) using an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method configured on the RADIUS server. The gateway AP (authenticator) sends authentication messages between the supplicant and authentication server. This means the RADIUS server is responsible for authenticating users.
APs perform Extensible Authentication Protocol Over LAN (EAPOL) exchanges between the supplicant and convert these to RADIUS Access-Requests messages, which are sent to the RADIUS server's IP address and UDP port specified in dashboard. Gateway APs need to receive a RADIUS Access-Accept message from the RADIUS server in order to grant the supplicant access to the network.
