I moved it to Access Server as I suspect (based on interface names) you are using that ...... ?

Rename

Code: Select all

login.conf
to

Code: Select all

login
and try again.

Interesting, maybe it's both? There are as0t+ and tun0.

Oh, I get it, the site-to-site tunnel is Community openvpn, but there is also an Access Server on the same machine.

It looks like systemd is loading this login.conf file as if it was an openvpn --config file, which of course it is not.

See your Ubuntu systemd(8) documentation and their documentation on how systemd loads "*.conf" files in the /etc/openvpn directory.

This is basically what Pippin was saying, but note also that you must change the --auth-user-pass filename in your client configuration.
