Client Wizard Export for AD users
-
Using OpenVPN with Microsoft AD.
I want to make this as simple as possible for the users.Do each user in AD need a client certificate?
If yes, how do I generate?If no, then how to I create a generic config file for the client?
yes, I am new to OpenVPN :)
Thanks.

If you use certificates, you'll have to make them under System > Cert Manager. Make the CN the same as the username.

Thanks.
Do I have to use a certificate for each user?
We have clients that needs to connection to the OpenVPN server.
Want to make it as easy form them to setup and connect.
But at the same time easy for us to manage.They have AD accounts they use to log into a shared server.
I really appreciate your help.

If you choose to use certificates (Server mode "Remote Access (SSL/TLS + User Auth) then each user must have their own certificate.
If you change the mode to User Auth only, then it will have one installer which can be used by anybody with an AD account. It is more convenient to manage, but you lose the extra security gained by having certificates.

Jim,
I got it. We dont have that many users so I think we will use the certificates.
Thank you for taking the time.H.
