New Install Configuration Issue

Post by Aesa » Wed Jun 26, 2019 8:03 pm

Greetings,

I am new to OpenVPN Server and I am having an issue on the initial config.

When I get to the "Do you wish to login to the Admin UI as openvpn?", I select no so I can create a new user. I type in the user name and hit Enter. The same line asking me to enter a new user name appears. It does not progress to entering a password for the new user.

I am installing as a VM on a ESXi 6.5

Any suggestions?

This is a known problem that will be resolved in 2.7.5. Sorry about that. Just continue with the standard name and then later add your own admin user.
I'm still alive, just posting under the openvpn_inc alias now as part of a larger group.

Thanks!

I had to do some Googling because I am completely unfamiliar with Linux command line, but got it working.
