How to troubleshoot 92 clients disconnected

Post by rodgerkr » Wed Feb 27, 2013 5:06 am

Hi Folks,
Your help is appreciated and apoplogies in advance, here goes:
Attempting to to investigate why 90 clients disconnected at the same time from our Win 2008 R2 server using OpenVPN. When attempting to open the OpenVPN log the text file it says

Code: Select all

"NOTE: OpenVPN 2.1 requires '--script-security 2' or higher to call user-defined scripts or executables".

Is there another way I should be looking into this? The OpenVPN service was running when the disconnect happened, after restarting the service all the clients reconnected. No errors logged in the server event viewer.

Not sure if needed but below if the config file
Thanks again....

Code: Select all

port 443
proto udp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key  # This file should be kept secret
dh dh1024.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.0.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
client-to-client
keepalive 5 60
tls-auth ta.key 0 # This file is secret
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 0

hi there,

some rules of thumb....

you cant diagnose a problem when using verb 0 :shock:
use 3 or higher...

use log directive to create a seperate log file , combined with verb you can get detailed log

keep in mind that both require service restart.

are you sure that its not windows fault? (f.e placing tap interface in suspend mode after while...)
