openVPN only with username/password?

randomdigit

Hi,

I was trying to make basic vpn setup with openVPN on Azure VM following the tutorial here (http://azure-openvpn.github.io/).
However, from the tutorial it looks like I should be able to connect to a server with openVPN Client using only login/password without any config files, which doesn't seem work in openVPN GUI

I also tried configuring vpn using static key tutorial (https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html) but can't figure out where to place server config file - '/etc/openvpn' does not exist though openVPN deb package was installed successfully.

So I have these newbie questions:
1. Is it possible to use openVPN only with login/password for authentication or, alternatively
2. In case of using static key, where should I place server config file?

I installed "openvpn-as-2.0-Ubuntu13.amd_64.deb" on the server and using "openvpn-install-2.3.10-I603-x86_64.exe" as a client

Thanks.

You have installed OpenVPN-AccessServer not OpenVPN-CommunityEdition ..

Please see the OpenVPN-AccessServer documentation
