auth. failures

Does your password contain the $ character by any chance?
if so you can you try to replace it with \$, so for example if the password is pa$word try adding the env variable as pa\$word
if not, does it contains another special character? i imagine one of them may cause the issue

[bubuntux]

or just define your password sounder by single quotes
-e PASS='yourPa$$word' that may also work

Thanks for the quick response. I'll give it a try, but it's odd that it worked until yesterday...

No, neither of those worked. Even tried changing my password. Still getting auth failure... could it be choking on the user Id? It's an email address...
Also, I'm setting everything up using docker-compose and a yml file that also worked fine until 27.2.

[bubuntux]

hmm.. the email shouldn't be a problem.. are you mounting the volume /vpn by any chance?
i tried multiple password configurations using diff characters and adding the single quotes fixed it,
do you mind sharing with me more details of the command/docker-compose (leaving out the pass/user)

[bubuntux]

can you make sure to remove the auth file inside of
${USERDIR}/docker/vpn
it will write the file only if it doesn't exist already
since it probably does (and have the wrong password) you keep getting the issue

Thanks - deleting the auth file fixed it...
