OpenVPN Support Forum

I've installed the RHEL5 (x86-64) RPM on my Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.3 box and I'm having a problem connecting. I'm able to connect to the web page externally, but when I have the VPN connect, I get the error message:

API Error: AUTHRPC_ERRBACK: user lacks permission to access host `<name of my VPN server>`.

I'm getting this with both "local" and "PAM" authentication configured.

I realize that:
a) Oracle Enterprise Linux isn't exactly the same as RedHat (although they're very close)
b) RHEL5 and RHEL6 are also not the same (there is no RHEL6 version of OpenVPN-AS at this point).

So, I'm wondering, am I facing a configuration issue with OpenVPN-AS? Or is this an incompatibility (and I'll just have to wait for a RHEL 6 version)?

Also, I'm not seeing anything in /var/log/openvpnas.log that looks particularly useful either.

Thanks!

As you probably have guessed, we didn't release an Access Server version for this OS. I'm thinking it will probably work but there are permissions problems to sort out. I am not sure where this error is being thrown exactly but I am going to take a wild guess. I am guessing that the Access Server is not able to talk to the management interfaces of the OpenVPN daemons, or something like that. You may want to check any firewall/SELinux solutions and trying to disable them to see if that makes the thing start working.

Good luck.

Any idea when a RHEL6 (x86-64) version will be available?
