Hello , I have launched an OpenVPN Server from AWS Marketplace using CloudFormation, to automate the entire pipeline, I have added the following code to my User Data so that Admin UI can be available. Please refer the AWS::EC2::Instance User Data below : [code] UserData: !Base64 'Fn::Join': - '' - - public_hostname= - !Ref IPAddress - |+ - admin_user= - !Ref AdminUser - |+ - admin_pw= - !Ref AdminPassword[/code] The server is launched successfully but when I try to login to the admin console it gives me login failed due to the username and password combination. What I am missing here ?

Hello ,

I have launched an OpenVPN Server from AWS Marketplace using CloudFormation, to automate the entire pipeline, I have added the following code to my User Data so that Admin UI can be available. Please refer the AWS::EC2::Instance User Data below :

      UserData: !Base64 
        'Fn::Join':
          - ''
          - - public_hostname=
            - !Ref IPAddress
            - |+
            - admin_user=
            - !Ref AdminUser
            - |+
            - admin_pw=
            - !Ref AdminPassword

The server is launched successfully but when I try to login to the admin console it gives me login failed due to the username and password combination.
What I am missing here ?
