I configured the OpenVPN server on the Windows OS and it works fine. At first I didn't use username/pwd for client login. Now I added that too. According to documentation, I had to add [code]auth-user-pass-verify[/code] to server configuration. I also added a script for verifying client username/pwd. It works as expected, but then I tried a script with simple [code]return 0[/code] and it works correctly. By correctly I mean even if the client provides the wrong username/pwd, he will not be able to connect. The question is: Why do I need script for verifying client username/pwd on the server side, because it's obviously redundant?

Please see: https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=22603

That's not the answer to my question.

The very first instruction on that page: [quote="Howto ask for help"]Please Identify your version of Openvpn[/quote]

If it is completely disabled, why user cannot log in if he provides incorrect username/password?

See --auth-user-pass-verify in the manual

How about we let somebody who actually knows something about this answer the question?

How about, you read the documentation ...

So, you are implying that I managed to install the whole shebang without reading the manual... yeah, right. (double facepalm) And now you are playing smart with good old RTFM story. Priceless....

Is auth-user-pass-verify's script redundant? [v. 2.4.7]

That's strange...

And exceedingly unlikely ..

There is one more weird thing. If I put simply

return 1

in my script, the client can still connect.
If that doesn't prove that the script on the server side is useless, I don't know what does.

I'm quitting on OpenVPN and switching to something that works.

So it is openvpn which is at fault and not your script ..........

Oh well, we better report a bug to the devs.

return 1

Where is the bug???? Wrong font? LOL
