Hi all,
I'm trying to configure my internet box provided by my internet provider. The box is based on Linux, but as a user, I have no access to the OS it self. This box is is not only a router, but also it embeds a VPN Client (OPENVpn), that I try to configure.
To connect to a VPN server, the box allow you to set the VPN user/password to use, and a config file.
An error is raised when the box tries to connect to the VPN server provided by my VPN provider :
openvpn: asked for unsupported password
Here is the full log :

I have no access to the OS of the box and thus no control on how the user name/password are transmitted.
I just try to understand the error message, try to know if the error comes from the client side (ovpn configuration file, user/password parameters, or something else) or from the server.
If I understand well, you would say from the client and the way the credentials are transmitted ?
Unsupported password would mean the password holds invalid characters ?
THanks for your help 😃

Your config file uses --
auth-user-pass without parameter and so the user must type the password in when requested, I presume this is what you have to do. If you do not have access to the OS you can not save the password to a file.

The error message appears to be from your OS so I don't know what it means.
Who ever provides the equipment needs to answer your question.

Hi all,
Finally, it might come from my Internet provider. A ticket has been opened for this issue and it is being investigated.
I would like to thank all of you.
Regards,
Rob
