Asus AC68U and OpenVPN Setup Authentication Failed

ravennevar

New Around Here
Hello. I have an Asus AC68U with stock firmware and I am trying to set up OpenVPN. I have followed tutorials carefully (I have have also done this myself many times with other routers with both stock and alternative firmware). I am getting "authentication failed" even though the username and password are correct. Please see attached log from the router. I am out of ideas about what else to do. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Maybe a screen capture (with sensitive info blurred) of your configuration would help us help you.
