Hello All,
Recently, I started configuring two RUT955s for a project.
For the first one, I did all the configuration before setting up the OpenVPN, shortly after I noticed that the OpenVPN kept giving the same error “error reading password from Private Key Authfile: /etc/openvp/askpass_colfont2”. After not finding the problem after a while, I decided to configure the second Rut955. This time I kept the firmware from out of the box, 6.08.xx. First thing I decided to test was the OpenVPN connection, and for some reason this one did connect with the same files and everything was working fine.
So now comes the fun part, after upgrading the RUT955 with working OpenVPN to 7.04.03 I did not run into any issues as it kept the configuration. Because I could not find the issue regarding the OpenVPN, I decided to delete the configuration from this unit, and now I am running into the same issue on this unit too.
Is this a known issue with firmware 7.04.03?
I'll also attach the logread in case it helps
