How to use auth-user-pass in OpenVPN?

badgerness

Hello,

I have tried googling about this and I could not find a step by step tutorial on how it works.
I am trying to have a username/password auth everytime the client connects. Does it support multi usernames and passwords?

I have the auth-user-pass on the client.ovpn

What about the server side (server.conf)? What must I do on the server side to setup this whole thing?

Not expecting too much, but if anyone could find a step by step tutorial for me, that's be great.

Thanks

a nice recipe for this is given in my book 🙂

on the server side you need to use either an auth plugin or an 'auth-user-pass-verify' script. The plugin and/or script receive the username and password sent by the client (in plaintext!). and can then decide whether to authenticate the user or not.
