Hello everybody
Sorry for necro posting but I think I don't have permissions to open a new topic, and my problem is very similar to this.
I've a VPN server with Debian 11 and OpenVPN where PAM authentication works only if I start OpenVPN server manually from root account. If I leave it start automatically from system services (I think is systemd this way) the VPN server starts but authentication from client always fails. The client behavior in this case is weird, it doesn't say authentication failed or wrong password or other, but it continues to write a message about "timeout" or "waiting" (I don't remember, I've to check again) but anyway it doesn't bring VPN up.
I already checked the systemd configuration and CAP_AUDIT_WRITE is already there.
What else could it be the problem?
Thank you
PS: in these days I've problems with openvpn forum; ofwn it gave "too many connections to database" error; does it happen to everybody?
