No access to Admin Web UI

MrMix

Hi everybody,

I downloaded Openvpn Access server file for vmware esxi (OpenVPN_Access_Server_64-Bit.ova).
Through Vmware vSphere I deployed the file and started the installation; everything finished successfully.
Now I try to configure OpenVPN-AS with Admin Web UI from a workstation with OS windows xp.
I'm log in as Administrator, I start Firefox, type https://192.168.1.240:943/admin and I get the
Openvpn Admin Login page.
I type root as username and openvpnas as password but after that i get an error page showing
the following text:

Permission Denied
You are not authorized to use the Admin UI
You do not have Administrative permission
Retry Login

Thank you for help in solving this problem

Having the exact same problem, it's as if there was a permissions issue with the appliance when it was created....I can create other logins but cannot figure out how to enable administrative access to the webui

Okay here's what I figured out, during the initial boot it asked me if I wanted to delete the openvpn configuration and I typed 'delete' and moved on my merry way thinking everything was working. Not so, my friend. I was supposed to type 'DELETE' (case sensitive) so as a result it was not properly configured. So in the console I logged in as root and used the default password. And ran this command to re-initialize the openvpn configuration tool:
/usr/local/openvpn_as/bin/ovpn-init

typed in DELETE
went through the prompts
after it was finished you type in "passwd openvpn" (or whatever username you opted for)
type in a password
then go back to http://(listeningip):(listeningport)
login using openvpn and the password you set in the console
BOOM!

Have a nice day :-)
