Unable to connect using --auth-user-pass switch

Pritunl
#1

Hi, Team.

I’m using latest version of pritunl client (1.3.3283.46) on Windows 10 x64 machine.
I’ve recently upgraded the version from 1.2.2732.2 and I can’t connect to the OpenVPN server.

The log says,

2022-09-09 14:38:13 Windows version 10.0 (Windows 10 or greater) 64bit/n
2022-09-09 14:38:13 library versions: OpenSSL 1.1.1n 15 Mar 2022, LZO 2.10/n
2022-09-09 14:38:13 ERROR: Auth username is empty/n
2022-09-09 14:38:13 Exiting due to fatal error/n
Enter Auth Username:Enter Auth Password:
/n

And here’s my profile configuration

persist-key
reneg-sec 0
auth-nocache
auth-user-pass C:/username.txt
verb 4
key-direction 1

The same profile still works fine with the older version of Pritunl client.
Also, when I try to connect using openvpn.exe file in the
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Pritunl\openvpn” using same profile, it works fine.

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Pritunl\openvpn” myprofile.ovpn

Is there any workaround to solve this problem?

Thanks.

The auth-user-pass and auth-nocache options are no longer supported. The newer versions of the client parse and filter the configuration in service/parser/ovpn.go

Thanks for the response.

Then how can I pass the username and password to connect to the VPN server? Is that authentication not supported anymore?

Thanks.

#4

Username and password authentication should function on both the new and classic interface. There won’t be any support for saving passwords or providing password files.

Hello, I have similar problem, my config works fine with the Classic interface, asking for user and password, but with the new one, these prompts are skipped and I cannot connect to a vpn service.
Also, after importing a profile it shows “User -”. What can I do?
