Original Pull Request: https://github.com/evgeny-gridasov/openvpn-otp/pull/44

State: open
Merged: No

Common_name is set before auth-pass-verify and I guess it should be used instead of username so it would allow to use CN of certificates as username and not to take the user input.
Moreover, the username-as-common-name config can be used so username is used as common name. See : https://openvpn.net/community-resources/reference-manual-for-openvpn-2-4/
Note : We can also check if common name exists and if not, use username.
