Hi,
If we want our OpenVPN client to not save passwords in memory, do we need to set the "auth-nocache" option on both the client and the server, or is it sufficient to set it on the server only?
Are there any client side options that we can add to the client configuration, without touching the server configuration, which will have the OpenVPN client not save passwords in memory? I tried setting the "auth-nocache" option on both iOS and Windows clients, but it ended up being an unused option in both cases.
Thank you,
James Pedersen

Re: About the auth-nocache option
In my experience, I place the auth-nocache in the client file. After that, there was no red warning message I see. I hope this help.jamesp-brightpattern wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 9:00 pmHi,

Hello, What if you didn't use a text file? I just put the username and password, and it in the Overview section. So where Do I put the "auth-nocache" statement?
