Have you by any chance set a password policy in the directory manager app?

Can you also just verify connections work without user/pass authentication by commenting out the auth-user-pass line in the ovpn file and also the "plugin /usr/lib64/openvpn/plugin/lib/openvpn-auth-pam.so openvpn" line in /etc/clients.conf, then restart OpenVPN? You should find you can get a connection without being prompted for a user/pass.

Hi,

The password policy was set. I turned it off now, and it's working. Clients login from OpenVPN successfully.

Policies
Publish Policy Local Network
Accounts Access Disabled

I didn't edit the clients.conf file as suggested above as the first idea fixed the issue.

Thanks for the response!

Having troubles connecting OpenVPN clients to the server. I am getting AUTH_FAILED error.
I see some conversations on this topic, but no solutions.

My situation:

- Samba installed
- OpenVPN installed
- OpenVPN client installed following the ClearOS tutorial (config and keys copied to client, connecting from remote location, asked for password, then AUTH_FAILED error)

Can You help with this issue?
