--auth-user-pass fails with

[Flo81]

Hello

I can't log on with --user-auth-pass

I tried ANSI, unicode, and UTF8, move and rename the pass.txt still the same error

I've done exactly what is said in several tutorials but none worked

Code: Select all

I presume you have this in your config file:

Code: Select all

auth-user-pass "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\pass.txt"

when you need to have this:

Code: Select all

auth-user-pass "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\pass.txt"

Double backslash .. "\\" .. like it says in the Manual

Had the same issue. It is not actually pass.txt but pass.txt.txt Try to turn off "hide extensions for known file types".
