OpenVPN Access Server System Administrator Guide

Enter the credentials for the administrative user you specified during the ovpn-init step. Note
that since PAM is initially selected for Access Server user authentication, the administrator‟s
password is the same one as used to authenticate to the Access Server‟s Unix host. Once you have
successfully authenticated, you see the Status Overview page of the Admin Web UI (see Figure
8). The “Welcome to the Access Server Admin UI” message box is seen only the first time that you
use the Admin Web UI.
Figure 8: Landing page (Status Overview) for Admin Web UI
You may configure the Access Server using its Admin UI pages in any order, though the
“Welcome” message suggests a minimal set of configuration steps.
The two sidebars are seen in all Admin UI pages:
The left sidebar contains links (orange text) to each Admin UI page, with the page links grouped
under (blue text) headings. See Figure 9.
The right sidebar (see Figure 10) contains an “At a glance” display of the some of the Access
Server properties, along with links (orange text) to the page in the Admin UI for performing an
action related to the property:
VPN Server status (on or off), with a link to Start or Stop the VPN Server, depending on its status
the number of concurrent VPN users allowed by the installed license key(s), with a link to the
License page for more information
the count of currently-connected VPN users, with a link to the Status Overview page (which
contains a table listing all currently-connected VPN users)
