NAME
connection_name.config - ConnMan vpn connection provisioning file
SYNOPSIS
/var/lib/connman-vpn/connection-name.config
DESCRIPTION
ConnMan's vpn connections are configured with so called "provisioning files" which reside
under /var/lib/connman-vpn/. The files can be named anything, as long as they contain
only printable ascii characters, for example letters, numbers and underscores. The file
must end with .config. Each VPN connection requires a provisioning file, but multiple
connections can be specified in the same file.
FILE FORMAT
The configuration file format is key file format. It consists of sections (groups) of
key-value pairs. Lines beginning with a '#' and blank lines are considered comments.
Sections are started by a header line containing the section enclosed in '[' and ']', and
ended implicitly by the start of the next section or the end of the file. Each key-value
pair must be contained in a section.
Description of sections and available keys follows:
[global]
This section is optional, and can be used to describe the actual file. The two allowed
fields for this section are:
Name=name
Name of the network.
Description=description
Description of the network.
[provider_*]
Each provisioned connection must start with a [provider_*] tag, with * replaced by an
unique name within the file. The following fields are mandatory:
Type=OpenConnect | OpenVPN | VPNC | L2TP | PPTP
Specifies the VPN type.
Host=IP
VPN server IP address.
Domain=domain
Domain name for the VPN service.
The following field is optional:
Networks=network/netmask/gateway[,...]
Networks behind the VPN. If all traffic should go through the VPN, this field can
be left out. The gateway can be left out. For IPv6 addresses, only the prefix
length is accepted as the netmask.
OpenConnect
The following keys can be used for openconnect(8) networks:
OpenConnect.ServerCert=cert
SHA1 fingerprint of the VPN server's certificate.
OpenConnect.CACert=cert
File containing additional CA certificates in addition to the system trusted
certificate authorities.
OpenConnect.ClientCert=cert
Client certificate, if needed by web authentication.
OpenConnect.MTU=mtu
Request mtu from the server as the MTU of the tunnel.
OpenConnect.Cookie=cookie
The resulting cookie of the authentication process. As the cookie lifetime can be
very limited, it does not usually make sense to add it into the configuration file.
OpenConnect.VPNHost=host
The final VPN server to use after completing the web authentication. Only usable
for extremely simple VPN configurations and should normally be set only via the VPN
Agent API.
If OpenConnect.Cookie, OpenConnect.VPNHost or OpenConnect.ServerCert are missing, the VPN
Agent will be contacted to supply the information.
