I'm working on running an OpenVPN client on a centos 7 system. If i start openvpn manually like this
sudo openvpn --config configFile
it connects correctly. However when I try to connect as a service it fails saying
Error opening 'Auth' auth file: userpasswordfile: Permission denied (errno=13)
. I've tried a bunch of different permissions on the file but none work as the service. Any recommendations on how to get it working? Here is my config file
dev tun
persist-tun
persist-key
cipher AES-256-CBC
auth SHA512
tls-client
client
resolv-retry infinite
remote ip port udp
lport 0
verify-x509-name "cert" name
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/userpasswordfile
pkcs12 cert.p12
tls-auth keys.key 1
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo adaptive
and here is the service file:
[Unit]
