From a294cd65f6c61d41e1b7584b07295aba73aeb4cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Rozman Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2017 15:45:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Document ">PASSWORD:Auth-Token" real-time message Authentication tokens are security enhancement eliminating client need to cache passwords, and are indispensable at two factor authentication methods, such as HOTP or TOTP. The ">PASSWORD:Auth-Token" message was not mentioned anywhere in the OpenVPN Management Interface Notes. This patch adds a simple use case example, while the more detailed feature description remains explained in the OpenVPN manual.
