SoftEther VPN User Forum

Hi,

How do i get a password prompt enabled during "AccountConnect" process und Unix/Linux ?
I configured the user and the radius auth type with "AccountPasswordSet" and did not configured any password there.
If i start tunnel with "AccountConnect vpn", the vpmcmd says: "The command completed successfully", but no prompt popup regarding password input ?

I think the password was cached.
Please disable password caching and clear the password.

Hi thisjun,

How do i reset/clear the password correctly ?

I tried:
1)
- stop softether client
- clear the password string from vpn_client.config
- start softether client
- start connect
-> same behaviour as before, no password prompt during connect.

2)
- set password newly with vpncmd command
-> this have also no effect.

Maybe this feature is not available in the CLI softether version ?

I think the user is configured empty password or anonymous auth.

Hi @thisjun,

Check my config from the first post. That is the config from the user.
The user is configured to use a password (no anonymous auth or empty password)
How else you must configure the vpnclient to get the password prompt during the login ?
I fear this feature are just available in the GUI client, but not in the CLI version, or ?

Please change the configuration file.
bool DontSavePassword true

Hi @thinjun,

I tried it and it does _not_ work.
I did not checked the code right now, but i fear this feature is not really implemented in the vpncmd, or is it ?

There isn't error popup in Linux.
"The command completed successfully" means just success to start connecting.
However the message is shown regardless of whether VPN connection success.
Please check AccountStatusGet after connecting command.
