Description Heino Gutschmidt 2024-09-27 13:02:00 UTC 
Overview:

As soon as an openVPN static ip address pool is setup a new host (RoadWarrior) cannot be added because dialog parts (Authentication, Advanced client options) are missing. You cannot even save or cancel. As soon the static pool is beeing removed you can add connections using the dynamic pool.

Steps to reproduce:

Install a fresh IPFire (2.29 (x86_64) - Core-Update 188), configure openVPN service with a static IP address pool, and add a new Host-to-Net connection.


Additional Information:

Core-Update 182 is working fine. It seems to be independent of the browser (Firefox and Chrome tested). I did some debugging and found that has something to do getccdadresses (called by getccdadresses, /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/ovpnmain.cgi) but could not find the reason yet.

Best Regards,
Heino

Fix was tested on latest nightly build of Core Update 189 Testing - a7ac62f4

New client connection could be successfully added with Static IP pool in place.

New client connection created and tested by installing into my laptop and successfully made connection which could be pinged in both directions.

Old client connection also still worked.
