Hello, does OpenVPN support clients with certificate and username/password? Or just password.
If so, how can I make them? Script that creates ovpn files does not give me that option.
OpenVPN client .ovpn with password

Re: OpenVPN client .ovpn with password
yes, you can also configure username/password, on top of the certificate.
check --auth-user-pass and --auth-user-pass-verify in the manpage.
The former goes on the client, to have it prompt for the credentials, while the latter goes on the server and requires a script that processes the credentials sent by the client.
Note that OpenVPN per se does not implement any password backend.
