Are preshared secrets working?

[aha]

Hello,

I use the following config file:

Code: Select all

client
dev-type tun 
ping 10 
ping-restart 60 
ifconfig 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.1
rport 1234
proto tcp 
remote myhostname 
<secret>
-----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1-----
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-----END OpenVPN Static key V1-----
</secret>

But it seems that unified config-files with preshared "secret" key are not working.
My Client said:

EVENT: CORE_ERROR
PolarSSL: error parsing ca certificate: X509 - The certificate format is invalid, e.g. different type expected [ERR]

Do I really have to use certificates?
Or is it possible with "secret" option too?

No, preshared keys and the "secret" directive are not yet supported in iOS client as of 1.0.0.

Hello, do anybody know, if configuration with preshared keys will be supported in the next version???

It looks like the answer is still no as far as I can tell, but there is another android app (under the same name) in the play store that works great.
