Hello everybody,

just some questions:

  1. how is it possible to change the web-gui admin username (John) ?
  2. why my config in the web-gui is empty while ipsec.conf is full of configuration ?
  3. where is stored the web-gui config ?

thanks, bye

how is it possible to change the web-gui admin username (John) ?

During the initial setup the account data is loaded from initial_data.json. Afterwards, you need to directly change the database.

why my config in the web-gui is empty while ipsec.conf is full of configuration ?

Because there is no relation between the two whatsoever. strongMan stores its config in a database and configures the daemon directly via vici interface.

where is stored the web-gui config ?

In a database that's stored in the program directory.

How do I add a new site to site connection with authby=psk?

LarsTi commented 1 year ago

As far as i know, PSKs are not supported via strongMAN.

see #108 and #105

@LarsTi thanks for pointing that, I should have searched bit more. but the thing is many of my peers (with cisco asa etc) use PSK and I am kind of forced. I think only option left is not to use strongman manually. I was really hopeful to have a better UI based configuration for my tunnels via this UI. Hard-luck :(
