I would like to setup an OpenVPN server which would accept credential based authentication from clients. The concept is described in the documentation:
While it is discouraged from a security perspective, it is also
possible to disable the use of client certificates, and force
username/password authentication only. On the server:client-cert-not-required
Such configurations should usually also set:
username-as-common-name
which will tell the server to use the username for indexing purposes
as it would use the Common Name of a client which was authenticating
via a client certificate.
Where and how is this password set up?
I would like it to be the same for all clients (which would just identify themselves via the username, per username-as-common-name above)
