Problem with IPSec config save on a brand new 17.7.7 installation

[mrunkel]

Hi there, brand new OPNsense user, but long time M0n0wall user and former employee over at Untangle.  My problem isn't with IPSec, but rather with the WebUI/config.

When I try to configure an IPSec tunnel it doesn't save, even though I get the blue message "The IPsec tunnel configuration has been changed...."  I've looked at /usr/local/etc and ipsec.conf is blank and config.xml contains no references to the data I input.

All other settings did save, so I know it's not a disk writing issue.

Any pointers at what I can look at to figure out the root cause? (ie, where does the GUI code log?)

Hi and welcome!

On the bottom of the tunnel settings page, there is an "Enable IPsec" checkbox. Maybe that was missed?

From a quick glance on a new install this works fine, Phase 1 saved ok.


Cheers,
Franco

Thanks for the quick response!

No, I tried it by checking it and not checking it.

If I click Enable IPsec and click "Save" the page reloads and Enable IPsec is unchecked.

If I click Enable IPsec and then click + to add a tunnel, it still doesn't save.

If I don't click Enable IPsec and click + to add a tunnel, no joy.

The one "odd" thing I have currently is that my LAN is disconnected as I'm just testing.

Ok. I found the problem!

Sorry to waste your time.

That makes sense.
