    Hi everybody,

    By default, when client install the OpenVPN client, he can save password. I know we can disable that while we install the client. I'd like to completely disable the possibility to save password by default, I dont want to give the possibility to the user to check or uncheck this option during the installation.

    I've made some search about an "Additional configuration options" or other tips about that, but I cant find anything.

    Anyone can help me about that?

    Thanks!

      I'd expect that question to be "purely" OpenVPN Client installer related.
      Meaning that's prob a question for the OpenVPN team , not Netgate.

          Yes thank you that can help. I'd like to know a way to create the client config file with this config already by default, without having to modify registry each time. Do you have another idea?

            No, prohibiting password saving cannot be done in the config file.
            You can roll out it by group policy in a Windows domain.
            There is also a way to compile the installation file without the save-password option, as far as I remember I've read that here. But I can't help with that. Possibly you can get support from Netgate guys.
