Where Is the ocserv Config File?
ocserv configures from ocserv.conf in /etc/ocserv with certificates and user files referenced inside.
Last updated
ocserv reads its whole setup from ocserv.conf in /etc/ocserv. Listeners, authentication, certificates, and default domains live in that one file. User credentials arrive through the referenced password or group files.
Certificates deserve their own folder with strict permissions nearby. Test config changes with a graceful reload during quiet hours. Client compatibility follows the auth methods enabled, so keep legacy options deliberate.
Where ocserv stores this, by platform
/etc/ocserv/ocserv.conf
Listeners, auth, certs, and domains in one file. User and group files sit beside it. Reload gracefully after edits.
Frequently asked questions
Where do ocserv users live?
In the password file named by ocserv.conf, managed with ocpasswd. Groups extend it for policy splits. Cert based users skip passwords entirely.
How do I renew ocserv certificates?
Replace the referenced cert and key files, then reload the service. Clients reconnect on next attempt. Keep full chains in the cert file.
