      Just checking to see how this feature is implemented for the OpenVPN server on pfSense 2.0 Beta?  I can select "SSL/TLS + User Auth" for the auth mode, and then I see "Local Database" selected under "Backend Authentication", but how do I configure users in the "Local Database"?  Is it literally the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files accessible from inside a shell?  And, how do users pass their username and password when connecting?  I looked at the docs but couldn't find an answer…  My apologies if this is the wrong board to post to!

      Straight SSL/TLS cert based auth I have working just fine, it's just the auth/password feature I can't figure out...

      Many thanks in advance!

        Ah, I see I can pass "auth-user-pass" in the client config file to prompt for a password.  But still don't know how to configure Local Database usernames/passwords on the OpenVPN server under pfSense…

          Arg, nevermind, as soon as I post for these things I end up figuring it out (can add users by going to System -> User Manager).

          Thanks for reading anyway!!  ;)
