The new tools/generate_config_file_samples.sh in neutron_vpnaas generates an empty configuration file. There is no default VPN provider specified anymore.

Breaking heat gate, they are band aiding it right now.

The problem is devstack not setting providers, not neutron not having a default value for the setting.

VPN uses a devstack plugin. Does the gate job setup devstack for VPN? Should be the following:

enable_plugin neutron-vpnaas https://git.openstack.org/openstack/neutron-vpnaas

in local.conf.

Hi Paul,

It looks like deployment was done using enable_service q-vpn and not the devstack plugin. I think we need to make sure service_provider config item is updated to support the old enable_service method.

Cheers,
Martin
