[Resolved] Autologin with external certificate

Post by dkm » Fri Jan 31, 2014 2:46 pm

Hi,
I am testing OpenVPN on an iPad using IOS 7 and OpenVPN 1.0.4.

Using an .ovpn profile I can connect with and without autlogin when I embed the certificate and key into the file.
However when I am trying to use external certificates this only works without autlogin.

When I remove auth-user-pass from the profile to use autlogin I get an error on the server:
local auth failed: credential username must not be empty

Because of this I cannot use .mobileconfig configuration files for IOS instead of .ovpn combined with external certificates.
I can get it working by embedding the cert and key into the .mobileconfigs vendor attributes as well, however I would like to use external certificates.

I cannot find a way to specify auth-user-pass for a .mobileconfig to skip autologin.
With autologin I get the same error mentioned above.

So to fix my problem it would be best if I was able to use external certificates with autologin.
As a workaround being able to specify auth-user-pass for a .mobileconfig could help.

Consider this as solved, I reissued the certificate and now it is working.
