Hello family,
I trust you're all doing well. I'm still running COS 5.2 and using OpenVPN for my users to access the LAN remotely. Recently, a user reported to me that he changed his domain password from his workstation while he was at work, but was unable to authenticate his VPN connection when he got home. The VPN client kept telling him his username/password combination is wrong.
He later report to me that he was able to login using the prior domain password. I told him this was impossible and that I'll investigate.
So I'm home right now and I needed to get into the LAN and decided to fire up my vpn client and viola, I got the same message - "username/password combination invalid". I tried all the previous passwords I know of but none are working. I then used Teamviewer to get into my workstation and was able to login to my computer using my domain credentials, so I know my password works.
Something strange is going and I don't know where to look. I restarted the OpenVPN server hoping that will fix things but it's not. Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks.

Perhaps it's not very common? I don't use OpenVPN, but did your client reset their password using the webconfig interface or via the 'change password' box from their Windows machine
It's possible if its the latter that they only changed the domain password (stored within Samba/LDAP) and that the system user/password is still the same - used by OpenVPN...if your user logs into the webconfig and changes it there then everything should sync properly? -
