Multiple Sessions Per User not working

99Percent

Hello, sorry if this has been asked before but I searched and could not find the answer.

For ease of management I need to have only one user account with openvpn access from different computers.

I tried check-boxing the "Multiple Sessions per User" on the OpenVPN http gui under "Advance VPN" and also adding "duplicate-cn" in Server Config Directives text box to no avail.

Different user names can connect at the same time but not with the same user name/client.ovpn

It will be a real drag to have to set up a different user for each vpn connection. We have several dozen computers that need to connect this way.

Thanks

David.

You are running this on a router or something ..
Can you post configs / logs ?

Check your server log for errors when clients connect ..

BTW: running all clients with the same "user" on all connections will probably cause you issues at later date ..

Its running on Ubuntu Server

the logs report: disconnected because user-specific properties prevent concurrent VPN connections by this user

but I have "Multiple Sessions per User" checkboxed in Advanced VPN Settings in the OpenVPN admin web page.

and on Server Config Directives:

duplicate-cn

if you are using ubuntu then you can check your configs directly in /etc/openvpn

Please post the full current server config and log while trying to connect multiple times.
Check you have verb 4 in your server config.
