Hi there,
I'm trying to install openvpn on Centos 6.2 running in VirtualBox.
Background:
- I used clonezilla to image a working Linux station at work, running Centos 6.2.
- I installed the image in a fresh Virtualbox machine, fix display, etc.
- I have openvpn client working on my windows laptop.
- I reused the same certificates and keys to setup openvpn in the VM.
- I installed openvpn 2.3.2 and the client.conf with auth-user-pass.
Running as local root, I tested the installation with:
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.conf
It's running well, authentication succeed and I can access remote resources. After that, I also test starting VPN as a service with:
service openvpn start
It also works well. Last step was the autostart and that's where I have issues:
chkconfig openvpn on
After rebooting, I press F1. openvpn service prompt for username. My name does not appear when I type it. I have to press twice return for the username and the two passwords. As one could expect the authentication fails. It seems I cannot enter correctly the parameters when booting. What could be the issue?
