Could not load plugin shared object /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-ldap.so

When you start openvpn daemon you will get below error message( If your OpenVPN server integrated with LDAP). It's quite interesting error message.

PLUGIN_INIT: could not load plugin shared object /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-ldap.so: /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-ldap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have try to locate openvpn-auth-ldap.so library file from VPN server. It was located in

/usr/lib/openvpn/plugin/lib/openvpn-auth-ldap.so

So simply I have created soft link to place where openvpn daemon checking above library by issuing below command.

• ln -s /usr/lib/openvpn/plugin/lib/openvpn-auth-ldap.so /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-ldap.so

Then start the VPN daemon.
