NAME

   eurephia-auth - The eurephia OpenVPN authentication plug-in

DESCRIPTION

   The  eurephia-auth.so  is  a  plug-in  for  OpenVPN.   It  is loaded by
   providing the --plugin option in the OpenVPN configuration.

   The syntax for OpenVPN and eurephia-auth is:

          plugin eurephia-auth.so "<plugin args> -- <DB args>"

   Please notice the quotes and  the  double  dash.   They  are  important
   markers  so  that  the eurephia-auth module receives all arguments (the
   quotes) and that it knows when to pass on the rest of the arguments  to
   the defined database driver, separated by the double dash.  This manual
   page will only look at the <plugin args> options.  For  the  <DB  args>
   options, refer to the corresponding database driver you are using.

OPTIONS

   --log-destination | -l
          This  defines  how  eurephia  will do its logging. It can take a
          filename to log to a file. If the string  is  openvpn:  it  will
          pass  the  log  data  over  to  OpenVPN,  which will combine the
          OpenVPN and eurephia logs. You  can  also  log  via  syslog,  by
          indicating  syslog:.  The  last  possible special value is none:
          which will disable logging completely.

          With syslog: you can  also  define  which  syslog  facility  the
          logging  will go to. The default is to log to the user facility.
          Other supported facilities are authpriv, daemon  and  local0  to
          local7.  To  send  log  data to the daemon the --log-destination
          argument need to be

              --log-destination syslog:daemon

   --log-level | -L
          This defines how verbose  the  eurephia  logging  will  be.  The
          required  argument to this option must be a numeric value, where
          0  indicates  as  little  logging  as  possible  -  only  giving
          informative  messages,  or  a  high value like 50 to give really
          verbose logging. In general a log level less than  4  should  be
          more than enough under normal circumstances.

          NOTICE:  The  highest  log level is 10, unless the eurephia-auth
          modules have been compiled with debug features.

   --database-interface | -i
          This argument must have a full path  to  the  eurephia  database
          driver  module.  This  defines which database interface eurephia
          will use.

OPENVPN CLIENTS

   The only change the OpenVPN clients needs to do is to add

          auth-user-pass

   to their configuration file.  This instructs the OpenVPN client to  ask
   for user name and password when starting the connection.
