Can a user change his password to open VPN or change the password even at the first connection?
And there’s also a question about password security policy! is there such a setting
PS Sorry for my English)) -
-
maybe someone knows what this is connected with?

@rem1488 said in Can a user change his password to open VPN or change the password even at the first connection?:
then you can’t change the password
It's probably the user and password cached locally, so that every time the OpenVPN client rebuilds the connection, the user isn't asked for credentials (again).
"Change Password" will not change anything on the OpenVPN server side.Btw : Go for
and live becomes a bit easier.

But this is not secure without authentication. Or am I misunderstood something?

You have a choice :
Give the user a login and password.Or this :

I do not agree, because after receiving the config you will get access to the system !!!! and users can leave it on a flash drive or somewhere else. of course, they can set a flag to save the password ((((but this is also a big problem ...
And even so, I can’t understand why ssl is safer than ssl + authentication?
If you can tell me more please or url on which article -

True.
As soon as you have access to a device, the 'cert' method opens also the remote LAN ....
Let's say I presume that tools like OpenVPN-client are not (never) installed on devices that have shared users.@rem1488 said in Can a user change his password to open VPN or change the password even at the first connection?:
and users can leave it on a flash drive or somewhere else
Yep.
And they have the VPN login and password - just several characters - in their heads, which can be 'copied' also very easy to another head.@Gertjan said in Can a user change his password to open VPN or change the password even at the first connection?:

The important word here is "looks". Which is close to 'mystification' or security by obscurity.
Because using certs or passwords to ID yourself is the same thing.
The latter is easier, after a couple of hundreds of VPN logins ..... as we all do lately.
