Hello, we are setting up openvpn in a test environment before deciding on full deployment. looks like an amazing service so far!
setup:
VMWare server 2.0 application upgraded to 1.8.3 (saw the problem before and after upgrade).
https://vpn.mydomain.com is accessible from external computers ( 443 TCP and 1194 UDP)
Steps to recreate problem.
1. From any Windows browser, Navigate to
https://vpn.mydomain.com from remote computer (succesful)
2. login with user and password (successful)
3. prompted: "Please click here to continue to download OpenVPN Connect." Link works - Download and install successful as far as I can tell
4. after install completes, browser displays spinning orange flower icon indefinititly until closed (let run for 1 day to test).
5. after reopening the browser and signing in again, I'm directed to the connect page with client download options. I choose connect. (the address bar still points to
https://vpn.mydomain.com)
6. the next page is a redirection to a client.openvpn.net site that prompts "Would you like to allow connections to vpn.mydomain.com?" I choose yes
7. The orange spinning flower reappers, now with the text below: "switching to new server" . This continues for serveral minutes until I am redirected back to step 6 and a loop between 7 and 6 begins.
I am not sure how to export my log for your review (I tried "grep -vE '^#|^;|^$' server.conf" from the linux cli after logging in from the console as root)
This is the story for all browsers/computers i tried. However, I did discover that I can sign in and connect to my remote network by right clicking the OpenVPN Connect taskbar icon and connecting. This is not the smooth client interface we need to deploy.
Thanks for any help in getting this solved! 😃 Let me know what additional information would be helpful and how I can provide it 😉
