Updated over 2 months ago

Integrating OpenVPN with Drata automates your user access reviews, saving time and reducing errors by syncing user data directly from OpenVPN.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that your OpenVPN account has Administrator privileges.

  • Create OpenVPN API Credentials. You will need these values to connect OpenVPN to Drata.

    1. In the left navigation bar, select API & Logs, then API.

    2. Under API, ensure that Enable API for the Cloud ID is enabled.

    3. Select the Create Credentials button.

      • Enter a name and select the desired Lifetime (expiry).

      • Take note when the Lifetime expires. When these credentials expire, a new set must be created and the credentials for this connection must be updated.

    4. The new Client ID and Client Secret will be displayed only once. Copy these and store them securely.

  • Copy your Cloud ID (aka subdomain).

Enable OpenVPN

  1. Select Connections on the side navigation menu.

  2. Select the Available connections tab, search for OpenVPN, and select Connect.

  3. Follow the instructions on the connection drawer.

    • After you select connect to OpenVPN, on the popup modal, enter the required fields with the values that you obtained from the previous section.
