OpenVPN-Admin: How to generate individual key file for each user by OpenVPN-Admin, and use the key in authentication?

Post by NathanZ » Mon Dec 03, 2018 9:38 pm

I'm using OpenVPN-Admin as user manager of OpenVPN.
I'd like to generate individual key file for each user by OpenVPN-Admin. Then all users will use key files to connect to OpenVPN.
Any suggestions or sample of config files?
Thanks.

This is not the OpenVPN-Admin support site, it's here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/openvpn-admin/

And here where you posted already:

HaHa, You got it!

I'm looking for help from someone experienced both OpenVPN and OpenVPN-Admin...

Please use EasyRSA

Thanks for replying.

But as far as I know, EasyRSA doesn't have the Web interface for the user management.
So I'd like both the user-pass based web management and the key file, like OpenVPN-Admin + EasyRSA.
