hello this is Justin with OpenVPN this
00:00:24
tutorial will focus on installing open
00:00:26
DP and access server on VMware ESXi
00:00:29
using our virtual appliance ESXi is a
00:00:32
popular virtualization platform created
00:00:35
by BM where that allows a user to deploy
00:00:37
the platform on a bare-metal server and
00:00:39
then launch virtual machines
00:00:46
yes and I'll just click that select
00:00:49
there and that will open the
00:00:52
documentation page titled deploying the
00:00:55
access server appliance on VMware ESXi
00:00:57
there's a lot of good information on
00:00:59
this page I recommend if you're using
00:01:02
this appliance to peruse this
00:01:04
information and the download link is
00:01:07
right here now it's a large file since
00:01:11
it's a bundle to image its 773 megabytes
00:01:14
I'm gonna go ahead and pause this video
00:01:16
while that downloads and I'll be right
00:01:18
back okay that OPA file has finished
00:01:22
downloading and we can go to our ESXi
00:01:25
and start the process so I've I've
00:01:29
opened my dashboard here I just need to
00:01:31
log in and I'll land on the home page
00:01:35
and I like to go to virtual machines I
00:01:39
can see all the machines that I
00:01:40
currently have and I'll click create or
00:01:44
register a new VM now in this step we
00:01:47
are creating a new virtual machine but
00:01:50
we're gonna deploy that machine from an
00:01:51
OVA file so we'll choose this option
00:01:54
here click Next oops I think I over
00:01:58
clicked ok so now we have the option to
00:02:01
select our file and this is where we'll
00:02:03
use that Oba that we downloaded from the
00:02:06
Open VPN net site and I'll click here
00:02:09
you can also drag-and-drop I'll just
00:02:11
click to open my downloads and find the
00:02:14
file which is right here
00:02:15
OAS it's version 2.7 point 5 choose and
00:02:20
then I'll give the virtual machine a
00:02:22
name a s demo and click Next now storage
00:02:29
options I don't put any BMS on the SSD
00:02:34
that I have put them on the HDD so
00:02:36
that's fine there and then then
00:02:39
provisioning is suggested I'm gonna pick
00:02:42
which network I want I have a number of
00:02:44
networks that are deployed on this yes X
00:02:47
ID but I want internet because a nexus
00:02:50
server has to have a public IP click
00:02:53
Next and those options look good and
00:02:55
then finish
00:02:57
now similar to the download this will
00:03:01
take a couple of minutes so I'll go
00:03:03
ahead and pause the video again okay our
00:03:07
virtual appliance has been successfully
00:03:09
deployed and I'll just find that VM we
00:03:12
named it a s demo if I click on the name
00:03:15
it will open the details page and then I
00:03:18
can open a terminal by clicking on this
00:03:20
window you can also use the VMware
00:03:23
remote console now all the appliances
00:03:28
are are configured with a simple
00:03:29
password that you'll want to change and
00:03:31
that is root so just need to click on
00:03:34
this window root and then openvpn KS as
00:03:38
the password this is just for initial
00:03:40
login now it'll go directly through the
00:03:44
setup wizard I'm gonna go ahead and
00:03:46
close out of that though with control C
00:03:49
and the reason I did that is because the
00:03:52
first step I need to do is set up a
00:03:54
static IP address an access server
00:03:56
absolutely has to have a public IP I do
00:03:59
not have a DHCP server set up on my ESXi
00:04:02
so it wasn't able to pull an IP directly
00:04:05
so right now this machine has no IP
00:04:07
address if you have a DHCP server set up
00:04:11
on yours you'll pull an IP address and
00:04:13
you'll be all set so the underlying
00:04:16
operating system in our appliance is
00:04:18
going to 18 LTS so that uses netplan so
00:04:22
I'll need to go to that and alter the mo
00:04:27
file and by default it has the HCP set
00:04:31
as yes so I'm just gonna change that to
00:04:34
no and then setup my address
00:04:57
Gateway even though we don't pick this
00:05:01
up by itself I like to put it in anyways
00:05:04
and then DNS servers and I'll just add a
00:05:17
couple of the Google DNS servers here
00:05:23
and then if I went over that looks
00:05:27
pretty good to me I don't think I made
00:05:30
any mistakes there let's sing that plan
00:05:32
apply will tell us now it worked and it
00:05:37
looks like we are all set okay now we
00:05:40
can run that setup wizard and like on
00:05:43
every axis server we have the old VPN -
00:05:46
an it utility it's just the same it'll
00:05:50
launch the the initial wizard just like
00:05:55
you work initially booting this machine
00:05:57
so I'll agree to the license here it'll
00:06:01
be a primary and now I have each zero
00:06:03
and my opee address excellent choose two
00:06:07
there and then the default options for
00:06:10
the rest of I and of course these can be
00:06:12
changed at any time and the admin UI I
00:06:14
am gonna log in as openvpn and we'll let
00:06:18
it go ahead and finish setting up
00:06:29
so the only thing at the end of the
00:06:32
wizard we get our admin UI IP address
00:06:35
and the client web service IP address
00:06:38
and well I mean it's the same IP address
00:06:41
the URL I should say now all I need to
00:06:43
do is change the Open VPN password so we
00:06:49
can log in that should do it and we'll
00:06:57
go back to a web browser and we do not
00:07:14
have web certificates set up so we'll
00:07:16
always get this warning log in with the
00:07:21
credentials I just setup agree to the
00:07:27
license and there we go
00:07:29
now this virtual appliance has access of
00:07:32
reversion to point seven point five we
00:07:35
do not update for every single release
00:07:37
so we do have a newer version available
00:07:41
and we'll go ahead and update the
00:07:44
appliance that we created to reflect
00:07:46
that and since this is an appliance that
00:07:51
we created Open VPN we can just use
00:07:54
aptitude for that so it's doing apt
00:07:55
update you'll see that the AAS
00:08:00
repository is already included in the
00:08:02
sources dot list D palm section of Act
00:08:06
and if we do have to install yes
00:08:12
it will try to install a new version Y
00:08:17
for yes
00:08:26
okay that is finished installing we can
00:08:28
go back to our admin UI if i refresh
00:08:33
this it'll make me log it you log in
00:08:36
again because the AAS daemon restarted
00:08:43
and there we go two point eight point
00:08:47
two that is our latest version and we
00:08:49
are all set the server is running and
00:08:53
looking good one more thing we could do
00:08:55
is go ahead and visit the client web
00:08:58
service and download a profile and then
00:09:02
connect I'll use the same Open VPN user
00:09:12
and a user locked profile would be great
00:09:17
named client or VPN I'll open one of the
00:09:21
clients that I have here and this is the
00:09:24
latest client for Mac had a new profile
00:09:29
find that client that OBP in there it is
00:09:33
and it looks good I'll add my password
00:09:41
and then just say connect after import
00:09:47
instant connection looks good make sure
00:09:52
that we have internet access we do
00:09:57
everything looks good okay that about
00:10:00
does it for this video on installing
00:10:02
Open VPN access server on ESXi thanks
00:10:05
