Problem with default Cipher on OS X

Post by macfreek » Sat Feb 11, 2012 5:20 pm

Hi,

Since I'm curious about IPv6 support, I tried to compile the latest version of OpenVPN. openvpn-201204 on FreeBSD compiles and seems to work fine.

openvpn-git-master (3a90edbd194140eef51c245edfcf9afc0ecb2d13) on Mac OS X fails:

Sat Feb 11 13:50:55 2012 Cipher 'BF-CBC' uses a mode not supported by OpenVPN in your current configuration.  CBC mode is always supported, while CFB and OFB modes are supported only when using SSL/TLS authentication and key exchange mode, and when OpenVPN has been built with ALLOW_NON_CBC_CIPHERS.

This seems odd; BF-CBC is the default cipher, right?

My first idea was to check if openssl was correctly found, but I do not see anything out of the ordinary. Does anyone have advise I can investigate this?

Some more info:

The BF-CBC cipher seem normally compiled in:

Code: Select all

% /usr/local/sbin/openvpn --show-ciphers
...
BF-CBC 128 bit default key (variable)
...
I just tried to see if this error was always there. It seems to be introduced with the refactoring by Adriaan de Jong last year.

Revision e8c950f12dfd6187f084fb06b6fe6e57c030bdad works fine
Revision 670f9dd91aed7ac435b79c0e28e49fa7c256642c fails with the above error.

Revision 670f9dd91aed7ac435b79c0e28e49fa7c256642c has the following log
message: "Refactored cipher key types".
