Description

Basic OpenVPN configuration (Remote Access SSL/TLS) yields the following result in system log:

openvpn34830: Options error: the --tls-verify directive should have at most 1 parameter. To pass a list of arguments as one of the parameters, try enclosing them in double quotes ("").

Disabling TLS auth has no effect, changing to Remote Access User Auth causes it to become this:

openvpn53828: Options error: the --auth-user-pass-verify directive should have at most 2 parameters. To pass a list of arguments as one of the parameters, try enclosing them in double quotes ("").

What arguments does it have after those parameters in the conf file?

I pulled this from /var/etc/openvpn/server1.conf:

tls-verify /usr/local/sbin/ovpn_auth_verify tls 'gateway.domain.com' 1 via-env

If I place everything after 'tls-verify' in double quotes and try to start the service, I get as far as this:

ifconfig's issue is that the interface 'ovpns1' doesn't exist. Weird.

I guess this is an entirely different problem. Has there been a major change to OpenVPN with the migration to 10?

Confirmed fixed on current code (snap+gitsync), no error and the process is running. Interface is there also.
