Overview
OpenVPN (BrightSign currently uses OpenVPN 2.4.7) can be used to create a connection to your servers. The OpenVPN "configuration" interface is a path to a complete configuration file and (optionally) the passphrase needed to decrypt the private key. The process is limited by —script-security=1
for the entire duration of that process.
The configuration is extracted to flash, meaning that it will persist across device reboots and/or if the SD card is reformatted. If the device is configured for OpenVPN, it will automatically run on startup of the BrightSign application.
When configuring output files, you should use the applicable attached storage device (for example, /storage/sd/).

See To establish the connection, reference the roOpenVpn (DOCS-896) to use the roOpenVpn BrightScript API to establish this connection, or or the openvpn (DOCS-896) to use the JavaScript API to establish the connection JavaScript API.
Appendix
In addition to other configuration information, client.conf should contain the absolute path format of the configured artifacts. For example:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|

ca /var/lib/brightsign/openvpn/ca.crt cert /var/lib/brightsign/openvpn/client1.crt key /var/lib/brightsign/openvpn/client1.key log /storage/sd/openvpn.log |
