is client config required?

dayknight

Hello,

Just got started with openVPN and got it to work following the http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html

Concise and well written - Got the openVPN working on CentOS and used itself to connect to it.

But now - i am looking at another direction:

1) User Auth (no client cert)
2) Using GUI Clients https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/RelatedProjects

This brings me to the question - if I am using User Auth (username and password) - do i still require to provide each client its own client.conf ? Would not the Server address and user credentials suffice?

Every client can have same config file, which in fact it is mostly. The different is certificates or passwords.

To use password authentication, in client conf you must use "--auth-user-pass".
