openvpn-auth-ldap package is available in epel 6 repos

[earsdown]

Hey,
Doesn't affect me, but it looks like openvpn-auth-ldap is available in the EPEL 6 repos for redhat/centos 6.x machines.
Cheers

Thanks for the heads up. I will leave this open, if anyone wants to implement this, I am open to PRs.

The following package for "openvpn-auth-ldap" is not require to be installed on RHEL7. The plugin is already include with the latest openvpn package and can be found at this location: /usr/lib64/openvpn/plugins/openvpn-plugin-auth-pam.so

I'm using openvpn-2.3.10-1.el7.x86_64 and worked OK

I'm stuck with this as well (Centos 7 here). Even manually installing the plugin off the command line does not allow the installation to proceed.

I have also tried the PAM version when OpenVPN talks to PAM, and PAM is configured to use LDAP, but the path is incorrect going into the config file as @ciobancai has mentioned. For whatever reason, the LDAP goes into plugin where there PAM module goes into plugins :(

By using the PAM module, my openvpn will allow access directly without needing other modules. I already have a global PAM -> LDAP configuration running, so this just makes use of that. On Centos7 the path and filename are different, so I've just pushed in conditional path selection based on version.

Looks like the data is set for EL6

puppet-openvpn/data/family/RedHat/6.yaml

Lines 1 to 2 in 258ac2b

	openvpn::additional_packages: ['easy-rsa','openvpn-auth-ldap']
	openvpn::ldap_auth_plugin_location: '/usr/lib64/openvpn/plugin/lib/openvpn-auth-ldap.so'

Closing this. If a similar fix is needed for EL7 then please open a new issue.
