Unable to keep 2 devices connected with same username

[realtebo]

I setup Openvpn AS to accept multiple connection from same user.

• "Multiple Sessions per User" is ON

• Server config directives box contains duplicate-cn and do not contain nothing other

• Client config directives box contains duplicate-cn and do not contain nothing other

• Applied config, restart openvpn server, and also restart the server itself

I do first vpn login with my ipad. OK

The I do login on my android phone.

OpenVpn let me access, but kill iPad connection. On Ipad, I see the messsage

> There was an error attempting to connect to the selected server

And this in the logs

Code: Select all

Just make a user that has _nothing_ configured on it, except maybe a password. Use that to connect.

Thanks for replying.

Tomorrow I will try

Could you explain me why? Is it a test or something in my config are obviously wrong?

[novaflash]

The error on the server will probably say something like "concurrent session denied due to user-specific properties" or something, which comes down to having user-specific configuration in the user account you want to connect multiple users under and that's not possible.
