SoftEther VPN User Forum

So I generated a sample configuration file for OpenVPN using the Softether Server Manager

and I got the ovpn file on my desktop and I can connect to vpn using a openvpn client etc

but i have to manually enter my username & password every time, how can i save the username and password in the ovpn file? I tried the normal way by adding some text to the config file like

auth-user-pass auth.txt

and then having a text file in the same folder with the login but that didn't work

is there a special way to do this with softether generated openvpn file?

anyone?

any help would be awesome thanks!

Hi vix,
As far as I know SoftEther does not create the client CA like OpenVPN does, so the auth.file is required for auto login. Do you receive any error generate in the client side?

Hi, yes when I make the auth.file i get a error client side, has anyone been able to do it successfully? maybe i did it wrong?

anyone know how to properly make a auth file to remember user/pass for openvpn softether?

Which error did you receive from client side? The auth file is very simple with uname/passwd included so most of the errors happens from auth file location or auth file declaration in .ovpn file.
