    I keep trying to login in the admin UI but it just ends up redirecting to the login page after I put in my details. Is anyone else facing this issue and does anyone know how I can solve it.

    Note: first configure VPN access Server in your aws Region,
    Then login as openvpnas@<openvpn ser pub.ip>/admin
    Configure it.... as admin.
    2) login as openvpn@<vpn pub.ip>
    download vpn client software, install in your local pc, create a profile, then only it will work without any issue.
    3) you can create user accounts and assign passwords in VPN server also
