OpenVPN client in GUI cannot connect to a server requiring username/password
0%
Description
The OpenVPN client in the pfSense GUI cannot connect to a server which requires a username/password from the client.
OpenVPN must be compiled with the --enable-password-save option, and then the client needs a directive like:
auth-user-pass password.txt
And the username/password must be written to that file.

This one can be closed. It has been working for years now.

Sorry, I misread the description. Ignore that last comment.
Will there ever be a possibility to provide user/pass into the configuration GUI that is then passed automatically to a file and included as a auth-user-pass parameter to openvpn?
There is a nice workaround to add the file yourself and put the auth-user-pass in the advanced options. I just thought it would be nice to have it in the GUI.

And now I looked in the code for 2.2 and saw that it was there. Awesome!
