SoftEther VPN User Forum

Hello

I'm trying to make a vpn connection to my company and I failed to.

They given me a .vpn file containing the "setup to import"

So I started the VPN service as :
frs@tempo:/opt/vpnclient$ sudo ./vpnclient start
[sudo] password for frs:
The SoftEther VPN Client service has been started.
frs@tempo:/opt/vpnclient$
This is successfull of course

then I ran into vpncmd like that to check my setup :
VPN Client>VersionGet
VersionGet command - Get Version Information of VPN Client Service
Item |Value
-------------------+--------------------------------------------
Product Name |SoftEther VPN Client
Version Information|Version 4.20 Build 9608 (English)
Build Information |Compiled 2016/04/17 21:59:35 by yagi at pc30

The command completed successfully.

VPN Client>Check
Check command - Check whether SoftEther VPN Operation is Possible

But no connection is really established

This is confirmed by the log file containning that error messages :

2017-09-26 10:26:08.533 VPN Connection Setting "XXXXXXX": Connection operation starting (this is now 269 times).
2017-09-26 10:26:08.910 VPN Connection Setting "XXXXXXX": The connection has been either disconnected or it failed. Cause: User authentication failed. (code 9)
2017-09-26 10:26:23.902 VPN Connection Setting "XXXXXXXX": Connection operation starting (this is now 270 times).

& so on...



What do I mess ? or forgot to do ? or doing bad ?

There is no cohérent documentation for linux users ... so I am lost ....

Of course I already tried to reset ALL & restart from softether installation .


Help would be appréciated ..

Thanks
Regards.

oh I've forgotten :
the file they gave to me is :

declare root
{
bool CheckServerCert false
uint64 CreateDateTime 0
uint64 LastConnectDateTime 0
bool StartupAccount true
uint64 UpdateDateTime 0

declare ClientAuth
{
uint AuthType 2
byte EncryptedPassword $
string Username $
}
declare ClientOption
{
string AccountName XXXXXXXXXX
uint AdditionalConnectionInterval 1
uint ConnectionDisconnectSpan 0
string DeviceName VPN
bool DisableQoS false
bool HalfConnection false
bool HideNicInfoWindow false
bool HideStatusWindow false
string Hostname XX.XX.XX.XX
string HubName XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
uint MaxConnection 1
bool NoRoutingTracking false
bool NoTls1 false
bool NoUdpAcceleration false
uint NumRetry 4294967295

uint ProxyPort 0
uint ProxyType 0
string ProxyUsername $
bool RequireBridgeRoutingMode false
bool RequireMonitorMode false
uint RetryInterval 15

}
}

of course with real informations instead of XXXX
but this is just looking good!? no?

Hello again,

My company had forgotten to give me the good certificate, (the CA one) ...

Thanks

Now it's ok of course after injection of the certificate with
VPN Client>CertAdd
CertAdd command - Add Trusted CA Certificate
Name of X.509 Certificate File to Register: CA-srv-VPN.crt

The command completed successfully.
