Is it possible?
- I have disabled client-cert auth and only would like to use username/password. Created a ccd directory and new file "user"

in the user file i added: However, it does not work - still getting it dynamically from the pool.

My objective is to see client usage. By assigning static IP to user - then i could use ip-tables or tc to throttle once they hit certain number. Any better ideas?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

add to the server config; also, use 'verb 4' to verify that the server does pick up the CCD file.

the CCD file you list will work only for a 'topology subnet' or 'dev tap' setup.

aha - excellent - Thank you

i am using tun interfaces - so yes - it is not picking it up - nonetheless - having username-as-common-name can certainly help with calculating usage per client.

add to the server config - this should cause the server to reject the connection unless the right common name (in your case , username) is specified. That makes is way easier to figure out if the right CCD file is picked up.
