Description

Currently aws_ec2_client_vpn_endpoint resource only supports authentication_options type directory-service-authentication OR certificate-authentication. This resource should support multiple authentication options (AND/OR). aws_ec2_client_vpn_endpoint schema currently defines authentication_options MaxItems as 1.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_ec2_client_vpn_endpoint

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_ec2_client_vpn_endpoint" "vpn" {
  server_certificate_arn = "${var.server_certificate_arn}"
  client_cidr_block = "${var.client_cidr_block}"

  authentication_options {
    type = "certificate-authentication"
    root_certificate_chain_arn = "${var.root_certificate_chain_arn}"
  }

  authentication_options {
    type = "directory-service-authentication"
    active_directory_id = "${var.active_directory_id}"
  }
}

Voting for this; was surprised to learn that this resource doesn't allow you to specify both authentication options, as mutual TLS combined with password auth is definitely the most secure solution. Without this ability, this resource isn't capable of supporting prod-ready VPN config, IMHO.

Support for this has been merged and will release with version 2.58.0 of the Terraform AWS Provider, later this week. Thanks to @davidsung for the implementation. 👍
