AUTH FAILED when credentials are correct

Post by unknown707070 » Fri Feb 09, 2024 9:41 am

I'm working on my home project from University and I've been stuck with some problem. Main goal of the project is to create a network with OpenVPN where I could provide a shared folder on one of VMWare Instances and open some txt file on another VMWare instance so we could ensure that our network is established.

I have one VMWare instance with OpenVPN AS 1.6.1 launched and configured with this settings:

Code: Select all

ip: 10.11.12.45
mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 10.11.12.45
Image

Also I've add two users with adduser command:
ab120-25, ab120-25-2

I've created ssl keypair for them with following:

Code: Select all

openssl genrsa -out new.key 1024
openssl req -new -key new.key -out new.csr
where instead of new username was placed. So my etc/web-ssl folder contains this files:
Image

On second VMWare instance where Windows 7 (let's call it Windows 7 - 1: 10.11.12.15 ip-address) installed I have this network settings so I could connect to my OpenVPN Web UI:
Image

I have this server configuration on OpenVPN:
Image

OPENVPN GUI Version is 1.5.6

So from Windows 7-1 I can connect to my OpenVPN as a client (https://10.11.12.45:943) and I can download configuration file.
I have installed OpenVPN GUI on Windows 7-1 and could connect with provided credentials for my user ab120-25:

And for this instance everything works fine.

I have third VMWare instance where also Windows 7 (let's call it Windows 7 - 2 : 10.11.12.16 ip-address) installed and I have this network settings:
Image

From Windows 7-2 I'm connecting also to https://10.11.12.45:943 and I've managed to login successfully with provided credentials for user ab120-25-2. I can download a configuration file from server, so I can open it in my OpenVPNGUI client on Windows 7-2 VMWare Instance.
Image

Main issue is that when I am trying to connect with this configuration with my credentials I get an error saying that my login and password are incorrect (I'm using the same information that I were typing in browser while I was connecting to https://10.11.12.45:943):
Image

If I'm trying to fill this form again and connect I get following error:

I really don't understand why I can't connect as a second user while I can connect to OpenVPN Web and was able to download configuration file.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
I've also noticed one odd behavior. When I connected via OpenVPN GUI with the first user ab120-25, with the second user ab120-25-2 I get this error that my login credentials are incorrect. However, if I disconnect the first user ab120-25, I can successfully connect as the second user ab120-25-2. And vice versa.

I'm connecting to OpenVPN from different VMWare Instances (Windows 7-1 and Windows 7-2)

Re: AUTH FAILED when credentials are correct

Post by maxturns » Fri Jul 26, 2024 9:33 am

If you're encountering an "AUTH FAILED" error in OpenVPN Access Server (AS) 1.6.1 despite using correct credentials, there could be several reasons for this issue.
1. Check OpenVPN AS Logs
Start by examining the OpenVPN Access Server logs for detailed error messages. Logs can provide specific insights into why authentication is failing.
Location of Logs:

Code: Select all

On Linux: /var/log/openvpnas.log or /var/log/openvpn/
On Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN Technologies\OpenVPN Access Server\log
Check for Errors:
Look for any specific error messages or warnings related to authentication. The logs maygeometry dash world point to misconfigurations or issues with the authentication backend.
2. Ensure that the credentials you are using are correct and have not been changed. Sometimes simple errors in username or password can cause authentication failures. Try logging in through the OpenVPN Access Server web interface to ensure that your credentials are working there.
3. Check Authentication Method
OpenVPN AS supports different authentication methods. Ensure that the authentication method configured in your OpenVPN AS matches the credentials you are using.

Internal Authentication
Configuration:

Log in to the Admin Web Interface (typically available at https://<server-ip>:943/admin).
Go to

Code: Select all

 Authentication > User Management > Settings
to verify your authentication settings.
4. Verify User Permissions
Ensure that the user account you are using has the necessary permissions to connect to the VPN. Verify that the user is allowed to connect from the IP address or network range they are using.
