chroot incompatability with --auth-user-pass-verify

cd_open_vpn

Hi,

I am trying to install openvpn server in chroot mode. my server is working fine (without chroot is working with client digital certificate & --auth-user-pass-verify username/password) .

when I enabled chroot .. server started listening without any trouble (with chroot succedded message in server log). But when client tries to connect AUTH_FAIL is happening and the server log says
"Failed running command (--auth-user-pass-verify) : could not execute external program"

I am currently clueless.. any help is well appreciated... thanks

The Manual wroteChroot to dir after initialization. --chroot essentially redefines dir as being the top level directory tree (/). OpenVPN will therefore be unable to access any files outside this tree.

But, I guess there must be a way to do it.
