20.7 Legacy Series / Re: Dynamic DNS and DHCP

« on: September 20, 2020, 04:08:08 pm »

I found the issue. I noticed that the zone declaration for the domain in the additional pool doesn't get added to /var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf which is why it is not updating the correct zone on the DNS server. This seems to be a bug in the OPNsense WebUI as I was able to get this type of configuration working on a DHCPd service running on Linux.

Bug opened with  opnsense / core
DHCP - Dynamic DNS Registration - No zone for DNS domain of additional pool in dhcpd.conf #4356

20.7 Legacy Series / Dynamic DNS and DHCP

« on: September 17, 2020, 05:49:05 pm »

I have a setup with a DHCPv4 service for a subnet with 2 pools which was done with the WebUI.
To make this explanation simple, I post below the subnet configuration directly from /var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf

As you can see, I have a config for a Dynamic DNS update (ddns-domainname) on the second pool, but it never updates my DNS zone. The client does get an IP within the specified range.
If I make the configuration on the first pool, that works. However, I need the 2 pools to update different DNS zones.

Is having a different dynamic zone to update on the second pool from the first pool valid ?
The OPNsense UI allows it, but it doesn't seem to work.

subnet 10.2.64.0 netmask 255.255.248.0 {
  pool {
    option domain-name-servers 10.2.0.100,10.2.0.101;
    deny members of "A6AAA4";
    ddns-update-style interim;
    range 10.2.65.1 10.2.71.250;
  }

  pool {
    option domain-name-servers 10.2.0.100,10.2.0.101;
    allow members of "A6AAA4";
    option domain-name "qa.activia.io";
    ddns-domainname "qa.activia.io";
    ddns-update-style interim;
    option netbios-name-servers 10.2.0.100;
    option netbios-node-type 8;
    range 10.2.71.251 10.2.71.254;
  }

  option routers 10.2.64.1;
  option domain-search "qa.activia.io","activia.io";
  option domain-name-servers 10.2.0.100,10.2.0.101;
  option ntp-servers 10.2.0.100,10.2.0.101;

  next-server 10.2.1.107;
  filename "/pxelinux.0";

19.7 Legacy Series / Hybrid RSA + Xauth fails with no Xauth secret found

« on: October 21, 2019, 12:21:39 am »

I have an IPsec mobile client setup with Hybrid RSA + Xauth with a LDAP backend. I tested the LDAP backend authentication with the "System: Access: Tester" page, no issues, LDAP works.

However, when I try to connect to my vpn, I keep getting an "XAuth authentication of 'myuser' failed" error message. I looked at my LDAP server's logs and I don't even see any connection attempts from OpnSense.
I tried switching to using the local database with a local user instead of LDAP, same error.

I tried the same IPsec configuration with LDAP backend, but instead of Hybrid RSA + Xauth, I used Mutual PSK + Xauth and that worked. Authentication successful and I see the connection from OpnSense in my LDAP logs.

So why does it work with a Mutual PSK + Xauth setup, but fails with a Hybrid RSA + Xauth.

The only error messages on OpnSense are:
 XAuth authentication of 'myuser' failed
 no XAuth secret found for 'server' - 'myuser'

19.7 Legacy Series / Re: Viewing Log Files - swap pager: out of swap space

« on: October 11, 2019, 04:46:54 pm »

For those reading this post, I found a workaround. On the "Firewall: Log Files: Live View" page, if I select 500 lines (or more) than uncheck the "auto refresh" option after 3-4 seconds, the server doesn't run out of memory anymore and the results will be displayed.

From what I can see on the command line, the "auto refresh" options keeps spawning new forks of "read_log.py" ever X number of seconds even if there is already a "read_log.py" process running on the system. On a small 500KB log file, the process will complete quite fast, but since my logs are set to 1GB, the "read_log.py" takes much longer to process the log.

The issue is the "auto-refresh" option keeps spawning new "read_log.py" processes before the last one had time to finish, therefore the system can quickly become overloaded and run out of memory. The "read_log.py" needs a check to prevent multiple copies of itself from running at the same time.

My python skills are not that good to attempt an adequate fix... looking for help.

Adding some more information. Even when I view with the default setting of 25 lines in "Firewall: Log Files: Live View page", the read_log.py python script on Opnsense seems to be consuming a lot of resources which is quite high for a script that is "tail"ing only 25 lines.

19.7 Legacy Series / Viewing Log Files - swap pager: out of swap space

« on: October 10, 2019, 03:22:36 pm »

Is there a limitation on the number of lines that can be viewed on the "Firewall: Log Files: Live View page" ?
Every time I select anything in the drop down box higher than 500, the system fills up all the memory (16GB) and the swap space (8GB) which makes Opnsense crash.

It happens also if I go on the "Firewall: Log Files: Overview" page. I recently increased the log file sizes, but I still have 181G of free space which shouldn't matter since the logs are circular.

On my console screen I see:

Code: [Select]

lighttpd: (mod_openssl.c 1965) SSL (error): 5 -1 55 No buffer space available.
lighttpd: (mod_openssl.c 1975) SSL : 1 -1 error:1409F07F:SSL routines:ssl3_write_pending:bad write retry
