Upgraded to Aug release & OpenVPN authentication Issue
-
Hi
I've just upgraded pfSense to todays (aug 14th) release a version in June (9th). Everything has fired up fine, apart from OpenVPN in client mode. I had an existing config which was working. Now I just get an error saying "Sorry, 'Auth' password cannot be read from a file". Here's the top excerpt from the log:
Aug 14 15:35:10 openvpn[22165]: Exiting due to fatal error Aug 14 15:35:10 openvpn[22165]: Sorry, 'Auth' password cannot be read from a file Aug 14 15:35:10 openvpn[22165]: MANAGEMENT: unix domain socket listening on /var/etc/openvpn/client1.sock Aug 14 15:35:10 openvpn[22165]: library versions: OpenSSL 1.0.1i-freebsd 6 Aug 2014, LZO 2.06 Aug 14 15:35:10 openvpn[22165]: OpenVPN 2.3.4 amd64-portbld-freebsd10.0 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [MH] [IPv6] built on Aug 11 2014 Aug 14 15:35:10 openvpn[22165]: auth_user_pass_file = '/conf/slickvpn.pas' Aug 14 15:35:10 openvpn[22165]: pull = ENABLED Aug 14 15:35:10 openvpn[22165]: client = ENABLED Aug 14 15:35:10 openvpn[22165]: port_share_port = 0 Aug 14 15:35:10 openvpn[22165]: port_share_host = '[UNDEF]' Aug 14 15:35:10 openvpn[22165]: auth_user_pass_verify_script_via_file = DISABLED Aug 14 15:35:10 openvpn[22165]: auth_user_pass_verify_script = '[UNDEF]'I've checked the file and it still exists and is in the correct location. I have this in advanced configuration to specify the file: "auth-user-pass /conf/slickvpn.pas". I've tried removing this and using the user/pass boxes in the OpenVPN client page, but that results in the same error.
Did something change on purpose that means this approach isn't valid and I have to do it another way? Or is there an issue with the latest update?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks…

That should work. It's an issue with how it's compiled on the snapshots in the last day or two only. It'll be fixed on snapshots later today/tomorrow.

That's great thanks. At least it wasn't a noob mistake from me for a change ;-)
I'll try again over the weekend…
