Summary : OpenVPN auth-pam plugin
Description :
The OpenVPN auth-pam plugin implements username/password authentication
via PAM, and essentially allows any authentication method supported by
PAM (such as LDAP, RADIUS, or Linux Shadow passwords) to be used with
OpenVPN.
While PAM supports username/password authentication, this can be
combined with X509 certificates to provide two indepedent levels of
authentication.
This plugin uses a split privilege execution model which will function
even if you drop openvpn daemon privileges using the user, group, or
chroot directives.
