Add VPN User

MeUser

Hello,

I apologize, I am totally new to OpenVPN and as such,my questions may be a bit naive. However, I have installed OpenVPN on EC2/ubuntu, using a pre-built AMI. I am able to login to the Admin console but I cannot find instructions for adding new VPN users (other than creating a PAM account). Could someone please point me in the right direction? I would prefer to add via command line if at al possible.

Thank you, thank you in advance!!

If you want command line, you can use PAM or LOCAL authentication. PAM is when the user credentials are stored in the OS, using standard tools like adduser, deluser, passwd, and so on. With LOCAL authentication, the users exist purely in the Access Server database. Password management can then be done through the web based interface. It can also be done on the command line using sacli and confdba in the /usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/ folder. See https://docs.openvpn.net/access-server/ for command line parameters.
