AUTH_FAILED result string display

[Randy Witlicki]

  Hello,

  

  I am testing for somebody the commercial OpenVPN access server which has a free 2 concurrent user license.

  If there are already 2 users connected when a 3rd user tries to connect the log file shows:

2015-08-04 15:13:30 AUTH: Received control message: AUTH_FAILED,LICENSE: Access Server license failure: maximum concurrent_connections exceeded (2)

  But from the Tunnelblick GUI I get a dialog box:

    testVPN: Authentication failed

    The credentials (passphrase or username/password)

    were not accepted by the remote VPN server.

  Is there any way to get the AUTH_FAILED string into this dialog box ?

  Thanks.

  Randy

There isn't currently a way to do that, but Tunnelblick gets notified of the failed verification via a message from the OpenVPN "management interface", and apparently the string is contained in that notification, so Tunnelblick could certainly display the message.

I'll put it on my TODO list.

Thanks for bringing this up.

I have committed changes to the source code to do this; it will be in the next beta release.
