Can user change openvpn password?

Question

FreeBSD

Hello.
There is pfsense with openvpn up. Users use openvpngui and local authentication.
Can a user change their password?
There is an item in the menu, but it does not work.

Answer 1

This means changing the password for the client's private key.
When changing the password on the client side, the following happens:
1. If there was no password before and it was not necessary to enter it when connecting, now it is necessary.
2. If the password was, then it was simply changed and when connecting, you must enter a new one
. Nothing happens on the server side, because. authorization passes on a key.
If the authorization is external, for example, FreeRadius, then naturally the password change will not be performed on the server, because the password is changed for the private key. I have domain authorization configured and the keys are not password protected. If you change the password, the OpenVPN GUI will first ask for the login and password that are checked on the domain controller, and then also the password for the key that was just set.
