I've just installed a new 2.8.2 installation on CentOS 8.1. I've completed the initial setup, and added LDAP integration to our AD domain. This is a standard public/private setup with a nic on each network. The access server is running ok, and I've added our public certs, but client connectivity isn't working. Infact, the server isn't even listening on TCP443/UDP1194 as I assume it should be.
I can connect to the server for admin (local auth) on the private side, and from the public side, clients can connect to the web server on TCP943 (not 443). I've downloaded the client from the web page (v2 initially), but it didn't seem to have my profile settings. When I try to connect, I just get an error. When I manually download my .ovpn profile and try to import it, the client says the profile isn't valid. I tried the v3 client, which did pretty much the same thing. I even tried the ovpn community 2.4 client, but while that will import the profile ok, it still won't connect - it's trying on TCP443 but failing.
My questions are;
How the heck are clients meant to connect on HTTPS, when the server isn't even listening on that port?
Despite my LDAP integration setup, I can't seem to add AD groups or users to the permissions. How do you do that? I know LDAP is working because clients can logon to the portal with their domain credentials.
This is real basic stuff that seems to be a roadblock at the moment. I was expecting quite a lot from OpenVPN, and planned to buy a number of licenses, but this is putting me off. The management UI is real nice though - which is a good thing I suppose!
