Setting up a password when connecting to a OpenVPN server

Post by ravim » Tue Jul 07, 2015 1:38 am

I have setup a openvpn server, generated the certificates and can connect to the server from my clients. When I connect, it doesn't ask for a password. How do I change this so everytime a client connects, it asks for a password. Should I have done this when I created the certificates? or can can it be added as a config statement on the server.

Thanks
Ravi
