OpenVPN 2.5 - digest invalid with 'auth sha512'
Posted: Wed May 08, 2019 4:36 pm
We detected an issue breaking backward-compatibility.
If I use in a config "auth sha512", OpenVPN 2.4 accepts it, OpenVPN 3 accepts it, OpenVPN 2.5 does not.
I understand the syntax must be uppercase ("auth SHA512"), but
OVPN files around the world, if using the lowercase syntax, will stop working (digest invalid)
and I think a force uppercase in options parsing in OpenVPN codebase will be a clean solution to avoid troubles.
Can someone fill a bug report to understand at least if this will be considered? Thanks.
