OpenVPN has the ability to choose different X509 field in case "CN" can
not be use used to be unique connected username since commit
935c62be9c0c8a256112df818bfb8470586a23b6 "Choose a different field in
X509 to be username".
Unfortunately it's not enough in case when client has multiple and
valid certificates from PKI for different devices (ex. laptop,
mobile, etc) with the same CN/UID.
Having --duplicate-cn as a workaround helps only partially: clients can
be connected, but it breaks coexistance with --ifconfig-pool-persist,
--client-config-dir and opens doors to DoS possibility since same client
device (with the same cert) being reconnected no more replaces previously
connected session, so it can exhaust server resources (ex. address pool)
and can prevent other clients to be connected.
With this patch, multiple X509 fields incl. "serialNumber" can be chosen
to be username with --x509-username-field parameters, they will be
concatened into the one username using '_' separator. As long as the
resulting username is unique, --duplicate-cn will not be required.
Default field is preserved as "CN".
Openssl backend is the only supported, since so far MbedTLS has no
--x509-username-field support at all.
v2: conform C99, man update, fix typos
v3: reuse buffer methods, drop delimiter define, use memcpy
v4: man update, change separator "_" to avoid path issues on windows
v5: mention collision possibility with "_" separator in man
capitalize hex serialNumber value

- Field in the X.509 certificate subject to be used as the username
- (default :code:`CN`).
+ Fields in the X.509 certificate subject to be used as the username
+ (default :code:`CN`). If multiple fields are specified their values
+ will be concatenated into the one username using :code:`_` symbol
+ as a separator.
Valid syntax:
::
- x509-username-field [ext:]fieldname
+ x509-username-field [ext:]fieldname [[ext:]fieldname...]
- Typically, this option is specified with **fieldname** as
+ Typically, this option is specified with **fieldname** arguments as
either of the following:
::
x509-username-field emailAddress
x509-username-field ext:subjectAltName
+ x509-username-field CN serialNumber
The first example uses the value of the :code:`emailAddress` attribute
in the certificate's Subject field as the username. The second example
``fieldname`` :code:`subjectAltName` be searched for an rfc822Name
(email) field to be used as the username. In cases where there are
multiple email addresses in :code:`ext:fieldname`, the last occurrence

+ is chosen. The last example uses the value of the :code:`CN` attribute
+ in the Subject field, combined with the :code:`_` separator and the
+ hexadecimal representation of the certificate's :code:`serialNumber`.
When this option is used, the ``--verify-x509-name`` option will match
against the chosen ``fieldname`` instead of the Common Name.
Only the :code:`subjectAltName` and :code:`issuerAltName` X.509
- extensions are supported.
+ extensions and :code:`serialNumber` X.509 attribute are supported.
**Please note:** This option has a feature which will convert an
all-lowercase ``fieldname`` to uppercase characters, e.g.,
:code:`ou` -> :code:`OU`. A mixed-case ``fieldname`` or one having the
:code:`ext:` prefix will be left as-is. This automatic upcasing feature is
deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+
+ Non-compliant symbols are being replaced with the :code:`_` symbol, same as
+ the field separator, so concatenating multiple fields with such or :code:`_`
+ symbols can potentially lead to username collisions.
