I would like to share config so we can use openvpn server with usename and password , just do as follow .


go to Administrator and Command and paste this script and save it as Save start up



echo '#!/bin/sh
pass=`awk "\\\$1 == \"${username}\" { print substr(\\\$0,length(\\\$1)+2) }" /tmp/openvpn-auth`
test -n "$pass" && test "$pass" == "${password}" && exit 0
exit 1' > /tmp/quickAuth.sh
chmod 755 /tmp/quickAuth.sh

echo '
jonh 2qwerty
tony oioou5
kent 8ui-uyu

<etc>
' > /tmp/openvpn-auth


after that go to Service then VPN add this line into additional Config

script-security 4
auth-user-pass-verify /tmp/quickAuth.sh via-env




now we open client config and add this into it

auth-user-pass
auth-retry interact






that all it need to make user authencation . you can make as many username as you like , just add as "jonh 2qwerty " jonh is user name and 2qwert as password




if someone try to connect without usename ans password in log you will see this

daemon.err openvpn[4572]: 92.40.202.154:50155 TLS Error: Auth Username/Password was not provided by peer
Dec 7 00:33:30 DD-WRT daemon.err openvpn[4572]: 92.40.202.154:50155 TLS Error: TLS handshake failed

Thanks for sharing, the OpenVPN setup guide has a simple script but if you have many users using a separate file with username password is a viable option and then iterate through the script or using conditional awk, like your script, is an elegant solution.

As I hate backticks perhaps this will work?:

I would opt for a better monitor

backticks: (Ever had a tick on your back??? I have, and I don't recommend it!)
On this I'm with @egc, as I can't opt for better eyes. Had laser surgery on one of them yesterday, but it won't make backticks suddenly distinguishable from apostrophes. These kinds of visual decisions in coding are generally made by young people, but they shouldn't be.

Well, I did finish my first programming course - Fortran - fifty years ago this month. And I brought up my first Unix system on a Vax 750 over 37 years ago now. So yeah, I have to admit to late middle age.

[kernel-panic69]

I doubt very many people on the forum even know Fortran or COBOL, let alone what a Vax is (was). I posted some nostalgic YouTube video links over the past couple of days elsewhere about the history of Unix and Linux, lol.

I think its high time mrjcd uses a different emoji, all look so angry all the time, no matter reply.

/me runs

Im not as old as @SuprisedItWorks, but age matters not. The only thing that changes with age which is meaningful to me and which really matters is, perspective! That matters more than anything else.

/me runs again from posting meaningless offtopic nonsense.

I miss Classic MacOS / OS9. But Apple knew they had to do something to compete.

haha back in the school days (my time): basic, pascal(turbo pascal), logo, fortran...ware pic one compulsory...than in the uni, there was a cobol, mumps, visual basic and java...my dad was one of the members of mumps users group that's gone forever...now SQL..
Funny how some of those ware done and dusted...now we have more efficient computers, way ahead of the IBM rooms with gigantic tapes spinning all day long, or the RISK architecture, or even before those, while i was spinning around my Dad i remember those perfocard's computers like late 70's, early 80's... gosh time fly's..

Am I off topic ... dang...
