I tried to add the custom script to auth-user-pass-verify through server conf but when I tried to start the openvpn getting error as
auth-user-pass-verify "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\author.bat" via-file
script-security 3
Options error: the --auth-user-pass-verify directive should have at most 2 parameters. To pass a list of arguments as one of the parameters, try enclosing them in double quotes ("").
Use --help for more information.
Any suggestions ?
using openvpn 2.5.7

--auth-user-pass-verify cmd method: Query client for username/password and
run command cmd to verify. If method='via-env', pass
user/pass via environment, if method='via-file', pass
user/pass via temporary file.
This is what I see if I use --help with openvpn binary. I don't know what I am missing here. Can you show me what I am missing from the line I used ?

Yes, your link also shows the solution.
The problem is caused by the SPACE in "Program Files"
