    OpenVPN is an open source VPN daemon

    My config uses PAM for authentication (see README.auth-pam). To avoid mixing with OS-wide password authentication I'm using PADL's pam_ldap stand-alone module for OpenVPN (instead of the PAM authc configured for system login).

  • openvpn-auth-ldap

    Implements username/password authentication via LDAP for OpenVPN 2.x.

    Before I've tried to build and install openvpn-auth-ldap but it failed and I gave up trying this even though I would have preferred to avoid PAM. I forgot the details though.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
