      Hi,

      i just updated to new version of pfSense.

      had a openvpn server on pfsense with user auth. via ldap on a win 2008 server. with 2.0.2 it worked for months out of the box.
      after upgrading to 2.0.3 i got the following error:

        That's not an OpenVPN issue, it's an issue with your AD auth.

        Check Diagnostics > Authentication, try to login there with the same account.

          going to check AD setting onve more, but i`m annoyed..

          EDIT:
          getting this for checking the connection in user-manager:

          Testing pfSense LDAP settings... One moment please...
Attempting connection to		OK
Attempting bind to		OK
Attempting to fetch Organizational Units from		OK
Organization units found:

....(all OUs)

          EDIT2:
          Some more information about the probelm from the system logs:
          sys.auth is my user for accessing the AD due to user

              Just solved the Problem, many thx for your help!

              here is the result:

              We`re using authentication via AD group membership and after updating to 2.0.3 the /etc/inc/auth.inc was overwritten - just forgot that we patched that.
              here is the original thread: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,28816.0.html

              you could also download the patched file here (just remove .patched.txt)

              regards

              auth.inc.patched.txt

                That file is very old! There are lots of diffs against the current 2.0.3 version that are due to new/changed things in 2.0.n since your changes were done. I am interested in using functionality like this soon, so I have looked through the diffs and applied the bits that seem relevant to the current 2.0.3 version of auth.inc
                The file is in my GitHub at present - https://github.com/phil-davis/pfsense/blob/RELENG_2_0/etc/inc/auth.inc - but that changes on a regular basis, so I have also attached it here.
                I have nothing to test this against at present. I have made sure the syntax is OK in a test VM.
                Can someone try this version on 2.0.3 and report back if it works?

                Once we have a good working version against 2.0.3 code, then we can integrate it up with the main branch, review how it works, test, remove some of the "debug" logging and submit a change that will eventually appear in 2.2. IMHO it would be good to have this functionality and it is much better if it is built-in to the system, rather than people trying to find bits of patched code.

                auth.inc.ldap-group-2-0-3.txt

                As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

                      AD is still completely broken even with latest 2.1RC snapshots (not just with OpenVPN). In all those years, has any patch been submitted via GitHub to make the thing usable?  ???

                          Well, that is very good, however the question was why nothing has been merged for all those years, when obviously there are serious issues with the AD/LDAP code. Anyone submitted any of those patches? pf is current the only piece of SW being used in place that I completely failed to get working with AD.

                            Not sure how it's broken for some, but I know it's working for several others that I've helped setup personally, and I tested it myself against server 2012 when updating the book for 2.1.

                            If we can get more details of exactly how it's broken on 2.1 we can work on fixing it though. The only issue I think some people have is with trying to lock down by group membership and even then it works for most people if they get the DNs and such just right. That can vary a LOT depending on your AD structure though.

                            The group patches are already on 2.1, maybe not the ones from that thread but the "Extended Query" box is where that is handled.

                            I've also been working on this page:
                            http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/LDAP_Troubleshooting

                            Primarily focusing on SSL issues since those are the most common ones I hear about, but I'm open to other suggestions to put there.

                            For people having issues on 2.1, the LDAP Debugging section of that page may be the best thing to try.
