How to auto-connect to OpenVPN server at system startup

I have OpenVPN client/server in my home LAN.
All clients are able to connect to the server using command line (in console): "sudo openvpn ~/.openvpn/client.ovpn".
Is there any way to automate this process at system startup?
The best way would be some kind of script for openvpn-client daemon.
PS: I tried networkmanager-openvpn, but it seems doesn't work (all GUI controls in OpenVPN configuration are disabled).
I'm using OpenBoxWM

Depending on what you're using for your network connexion there might be a better alternative, but you could add something like this in rc.local:
while [[ ! `ping -c1 -w1 $vpn_ip 2>/dev/null` ]]; do
sleep 1;
done
/etc/openvpn/launch_vpn

  • How to auto-connect to external server upon startup?

    Is there a way that a user could by-pass "Connect to Server" and have the workstation auto-connect to an external, but in-house server each time the work-station is booted up? Also, is there a way to have it connect to this server without having to enter a password each time? Thanks in advance.

    after you mount the share, drag the icon to sys pref -> accoutns -> login items

    use apple+k to connect to the share, enter the share name as:

    keychain should remember the password for you.

  • How to secure connection in sql server 2008? my main problem is which certificate should i add in mmc

    i'm recently working on hardening of sql server 2008. now i face with a problem. my problem is  how to secure connection in sql server 2008?  my main problem is which certificate should i add in mmc? what are these certificates about?and guide
    me in choosing the appropriate certificate.
    and how should i know that the connection in sql server is secured?
    plz guide me from the beginning cause i'm rookie in this subject.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi sqlfan,
    Question 1: my problem is how to secure connection in sql server 2008?
    Microsoft SQL Server can use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt data that is transmitted across a network between an instance of SQL Server and a client application. For more information about Encrypting Connections to SQL Server, please refer to the following
    article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189067(v=sql.105).aspx
    Question 2: my main problem is which certificate should i add in mmc? what are these certificates about?and guide me in choosing the appropriate certificate.
    To install a certificate in the Windows certificate store of the server computer, you will need to purchase/provision a certificate from a certificate authority first. So please go to a certificate authority to choose the appropriate certificate.
    For SQL Server to load a SSL certificate, the certificate must meet the following conditions:
    The certificate must be in either the local computer certificate store or the current user certificate store.
    The current system time must be after the Valid from property of the certificate and before the Valid to property of the certificate.
    The certificate must be meant for server authentication. This requires the Enhanced Key Usage property of the certificate to specify Server Authentication (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1).
    The certificate must be created by using the KeySpec option of AT_KEYEXCHANGE. Usually, the certificate's key usage property (KEY_USAGE) will also include key encipherment (CERT_KEY_ENCIPHERMENT_KEY_USAGE).
    The Subject property of the certificate must indicate that the common name (CN) is the same as the host name or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server computer. If SQL Server is running on a failover cluster, the common name must match the host
    name or FQDN of the virtual server and the certificates must be provisioned on all nodes in the failover cluster.
    Question 3: how should i know that the connection in sql server is secured?
    If the certificate is configured to be used, and the value of the ForceEncryption option is set to Yes, all data transmitted across a network between SQL Server and the client application will be encrypted using the certificate. For more detail about this,
    please refer to Configuring SSL for SQL Server in the following article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189067(v=sql.105).aspx
    If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

  • How are people connecting Mainstage to their PA systems?

    How are people connecting Mainstage to their PA systems? I'm running my electric guitar into my MBP with a 1/4 jack and an adapter and am coming out of the headphone jack into a DI box and then into the sound system. On some patches I'm getting a lot of noise/unintended distortion and our sound guy is unsure of what to do, ( tried adjusting gain to no effect). is their a better way to route things?

    Great Grains,
    << But what is the real advantage over the 1/4 adapter? >>
    I don't know the presonus specifically - I have an RME and a Duet - but with an interface the advantages are; better converters = better sound, less latency (not 'no latency' but definitely a lot less),
    better impedance (better plugs basically) for PAs, flexible outputs (stereo, multi channel, etc).
    Realistically the little 1/8" ins and outs out on a computer are not very good, esp for real instruments, and there is tons of latency.
    As to your question about Stereo mono and what to send the PA:
    There's no real reason you can't send stereo (L+R, 1+2, whatever) to the house PA if you want. Depending on what level sound people you're dealing with some of them may not be open to running you stereo, esp if you play guitar and they are... let's say, set in their ways. They also may have limited a number of inputs. At higher level venues the PA rigs and sound people will do anything you want, do it really well and have a good time doing it.
    To run mono;
    1. In mainstage, put a gain plugin on the output channel and select 'mono' within the plugin.
    2. Send one output (typically left for mono, but either is fine) of your presonus to the PA.
    You can change from mono to stereo instantly with this setup (by selecting or unselecting mono within the gain plugin) to adjust for different situations.

    Hi,
    - Xif adapters and service process the BDOC messages.
    - adapters for inbound and outbounfd processing.
    -it will forward the messages from  the inbound queues to the control component.
    -BDOC is a business document where the flow of data to and from the CRM system takes place.
    -Bdoc is a container that contain business data
    - it describes the hierarchial structure of the business data.
    -you can also create custom specific BDOC types,
    -BDOC's as a data container to process business objects as one unit and this avoid having to transport several individual tables.
    Bdoc types are found in BDOC repositry.
    Bdoc types have two part
    Header- consist of one single segment so-caooed control segment
    Body - consist of one or more data segment
    Idoc having three types of data:
    control record
    Data record
    status record
    hope it will useful.

  • How can i connect to SQL Server 7.0 on Windons Using JDBC

    How can i connect to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 on a windows enviroment ?
    in sql server 2000 some jar files are required that is
    What you need to do is actually add all three jar files to your class path individually. There are three jar files that come with this driver the msbase.jar, msutil.jar, and mssqlserver.jar. for sqlQ server 2000.
    now the problem is that i cant find these files on my system. firstly where these files will be located. secondly are they will be used to connect to SQL Server 7.0. thirdly if not what is the procedure.
    My next Problem is that I have Websphere Studio Application Developer. in which their is this facility of Database Webpages its like a wizard which makes automatically beans servlets and JSP but before that you need a Driver Name and and Class Name for to Connect to the Database.
    Can you tell what is the specific Driver Path for the Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 . secondly is this the class which is used to connect to SQL server 7.0 "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" where can i find this one. for SQL server 7.0.
    please provide some guidance in this regard.

    You can search for the JDBC drivers at, http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers
    All the three jars that you specified are part of MsSQL Server jdbc driver. You need them (in the classpath) to get connected to the database.
    "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" is the class in mssqlserver.jar. This is the driver class which will be used to get connected to the database.
    You can search in this forum for writting jdbc code (for Sql Server). If you don't find these jars, give me your e-mail id.
