OpenVPN client push-route stopped working, needs added quotes to fix
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

Hi, after recent upgrade to VyOS 1.2.0-rolling+201905261657, openvpn client push-route stopped working.

Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in /opt/vyatta/etc/openvpn/ccd/vtun0/xyz:2: push (2.4.0)

ccd/vtun0/xyz:

ifconfig-push 10.x.y.10 255.255.255.0
push route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
push route 10.1.0.0 255.255.255.0

Adding quotes fixes it:

ifconfig-push 10.x.y.10 255.255.255.0
push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"
push "route 10.1.0.0 255.255.255.0"

The same thing applies to the global configuration of push options.
E.g. These:
set interfaces openvpn vtun0 server push-route '172.16.41.0/24'
set interfaces openvpn vtun0 server push-route '172.16.42.0/24'

Lead to these in the /opt/vyatta/etc/openvpn/openvpn.vtun0 configuration file:
push route 172.16.42.0 255.255.255.0
push route 172.16.41.0 255.255.255.0

Which gives the same error.
The patch referenced above does fix it for clients, but the global configuration conversion is still broken.

This issue don't reproduces at 1.2.2 and 1.2.3-epa1. As for rolling release after T1548, seems all correct and works.

set interfaces openvpn vtun0 server push-route '100.64.0.0/24'
set interfaces openvpn vtun0 server push-route '172.16.41.0/24'
set interfaces openvpn vtun0 server push-route '172.16.42.0/24'
vyos@vyos# sudo cat /opt/vyatta/etc/openvpn/openvpn-vtun0.conf | grep push
push "route 100.64.0.0 255.255.255.0"
push "route 172.16.41.0 255.255.255.0"
push "route 172.16.42.0 255.255.255.0"

on client

vyos@vyos-rtr01# run show ip route | grep vtun0
S>* 10.23.0.0/16 [1/0] is directly connected, vtun0, 00:03:25

@kronenpj can you try last rolling release for confirm this?
