Hi all,
* vpn-user-portal: 2.3.10 [1]
* vpn-ca: 3.2.0 [2]
This release includes support for having the VPN session expire in the
middle of the night. This allows you to (automatically) avoid VPN
sessions terminating during the regular work day. Please provide
feedback if you have any! Check out the documentation on how to enable
it [3].
The vpn-ca project allows you now to expire the CA at any moment in the
future. By default the expiry is 5 years, which may be a bit too short
for some situations. Now you are able to manually! generate a CA that
expires later, e.g. after 10 years. I'll send out another mail shortly
for a case where a server already ran into trouble even though eduVPN
2.x is only 2 years old.
As usual, let us know if you have any feedback, questions, remarks!
NOTE: on CentOS and Fedora these updates will require you to install the
new key as indicated in a previous announcement [4].
Regards,
François
