This help is for authenticate client but my probleme is not to authenticate client. I have already a script "auth-user-pass-verify ...".

I need to get the client password into the client-connect script because I want to make requests with my freeradius. The goal of these requests is not to authenticate but to obtain more information about the client.

this is not possible: the password supplied for a auth-user-pass-verify script is available ONLY inside the auth-user-pass-verify script (as it should be). Other scripts do not have access to the username or password.

Ok 🙁

Thanks for your response 😉

Hi Jeremie,

just for testing I could fetch the username and password variables passed by the client by setting the folllowing lines in my openvpn.conf:

tmp-dir /dev/shm
auth-user-pass-verify connect.sh via-file

In the connect.sh shell script I put the following line:

cat $1 > /some_file/somewhere

username and password values will be stored as clear text in the output file.

I hope it helps.
