Where do I find my OpenVPN username and password?
OpenVPN's setup wizard is pretty straightforward.
I used the default settings on my home network and it seemed to install just fine, but after logging in, and restarting my router (it was a Mikrotik router at the time), I couldn't figure out how to find my username or password to log in. It just asked me for a new username and password and didn't tell me that I had to log in to find out what my username and password were. I tried googling for this but I found nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Are you talking about OpenVPN 1. Because OpenVPN 2.0 uses a GUI.

Thanks for your reply! I was using openvpn 1.4.6 and not 2.x and yes, I think the OpenVPN 2.0 uses a GUI so i'd guess that openVPN 1.6 doesn't either. I'll try again later, thanks in advance!

What is the default admin login for OpenVPN?
I'm setting up a server using OpenVPN and I need to find the default admin login for it.
The instructions say "Once you have enabled OpenVPN, it will attempt to start the service as the root user. To prevent that, you must use one of the following options to change the service's startup:
Change the OpenVPN service to start as an unprivileged user with UID 1023 and GID 1002. You can do that by editing the /etc/openvpn/server.conf file."
Does this mean the username is vpnuser and the password is vpnserver? Or are there other options? According to this article in the wiki page of OpenVPN Server: If you are using Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) or later, the default configuration uses the auth-user-pass-verify directive to automatically provide a pam authentication mechanism. This allows OpenVPN server to automatically authenticate users when they try to log in.
The pam configuration provides the mechanism for automatic login and password retrieval. It uses the auth module to perform authentication by storing the user's password in an encrypted form, but keeps the user name and password as a plain text for decryption by the user at runtime.
When authentication succeeds, the login proceeds and the user is dropped into the remote shell. I'm not on Ubuntu, but this seems to be the default configuration of OpenVPN Server on Debian.
