@thushk101

auth-user-pass

The presence of this line suggests you require a path to file containing your credentials to log into your vpn provider.

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/openvpn/client-luci#b_upload_a_openvpn_config_file

[egc]

Set your username and password in the GUI box and change the openvpn config file:
auth-user-pass <enter-path-filename>

what you should enter instead of is shown in the GUI in my case it would be (see screenhot below)
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/ks_ro.auth

[thushk101]

sir, i only have user name and password,,, not any auth file... so how i can do that

[egc]

In the OpenVPN GUI click Edit:

See: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/openvpn/client-luci#b_upload_a_openvpn_config_file

If you are done reboot the router to take effect

[thushk101]

yes i open that, after that... where i need to enter username and password .?

: example: login-119c98f49b1b6294ef7f4dfssdfsda6e83a32939
password-2a5050fa293b16b6edfer970c7f24aa3bc

this is i have

[egc]

In the box which says:
Section to add an optional 'auth-user-pass' file with your credentials
username on the first line
password on the second line
As shown in my earlier screenshot

[thushk101]

this is how i enter.. can you check it sir?

[egc]

Correct and then modify the line with auth-user-pass in the window above and change it to
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/ovpn.auth
the path and filename are specified in your screenshot after `credentials'

Save and reboot your router

I hope those are not the real username and password otherwise delete the screenshot and/or ask for new credentials

[thushk101]

thanks finally i did it !!!
