Openvpn How can you get default user name and password?

March 3, 2022 . 1 MIN READ

Admin Web UI Address and Login Credentials

After your Access Server installation, an output message displays with the following information for your VPN server:

  1. The password for the openvpn administrative user.
  2. The URL for the Admin Web UI.
  3. The URL for the Client Web UI.

Note: The URLs depend on the IP address of your server. After initial configuration we recommend setting up a DNS hostname for your server and configuring this as the host name in the Network Settings section.

Alternatively, you can find the password and URL information in the file /usr/local/openvpn_as/init.log.

Note: Access Server versions older than 2.10 do not automatically generate a password. On older versions you set the password manually by typing passwd openvpn on the command line.

 

Sign into the Admin Web UI

Open a web browser and enter the address for the Admin Web UI. You will receive a warning about navigating to an unsecured network due to the self-signed certificate. (We recommend setting up your own SSL for security.) Accept to continue. At the login page, input the required information:

  • Username: openvpn

Password: password created during installation
