cannot log in with root/openvpnas

Post by eovnu87435ds » Wed Oct 03, 2012 7:36 pm

hi everybody

Hopefully I am posting this question in the right place this time (If not, can someone PM me?)

I have a server running ESXi 5 and I had downloaded the 64 bit Ovpn AS ova, and deployed it to my server. Using vSphere, I open the virtual console, and I cannot log in with the listed default user/pass(error: login incorrect).

Has this changed? or am I missing something?

I found it!

Don't ask me why it's there, I don't know.

Do passwd openvpn, set a password, and log in with that and openvpn as the user NOT root

:)

Hello zniper,

By default it's root/openvpnas. Are you perhaps experiencing problems with your keyboard layout? Try typing openvpnas in the username field so you can see what you're typing, perhaps it's coming across incorrectly. The OpenVPN Access Server OVA has as username root and as password openvpnas, so that should be correct.

Good luck.
I'm still alive, just posting under the openvpn_inc alias now as part of a larger group.
