Description

Starting from 2.4.5 OpenVPN server supports "Username as Common Name" (#8289) option:

When a user authenticates, if this option is enabled then the username of the client will be used in place of the certificate common name for purposes such as determining Client Specific Overrides.

This option allows to use "Register connected OpenVPN clients in the DNS Resolver" feature for "Remote Access (User Auth)" mode

Tested this and it doesn't appear to work. We have a client who applied this patch to 2.4.5p1 and enabled both the Common Name and DNS Resolver settings, but it did not work. This firewall had the DNS Resolver in Forwarding Mode, but DHCP leases work fine. See attached screenshots.

You need to restart/re-save OpenVPN server after enabling 'Register connected OpenVPN clients in the DNS Resolver' in DNS Resolver

tested on 2.5.0.a.20201023.1850 - works as expected
