This allow the server to set and override the username that is assumed for the client for interaction with the client after the authentication. This is especially intended to allow the of use auth-gen-token in scenarios where the clients use certificates and multi-factor authentication. It allows a client to successfully roam to a different server and have a correct username and auth-token that can be accepted by that server as fully authenticated user without requiring MFA again. The scenario that this feature is probably most useful when --management-client-auth is in use as in this mode the OpenVPN server can accept clients without username/password but still use --auth-gen-token with username and password to accept auth-token as alternative authentication. A client without a username will also not use the pushed auth-token. So setting/pushing an auth-token-user will ensure that the client has a username.

OpenVPN Plugins
---------------
Starting with OpenVPN 2.0-beta17, compiled plugin modules are
supported on any *nix OS which includes libdl or on Windows.
One or more modules may be loaded into OpenVPN using
the --plugin directive, and each plugin module is capable of
intercepting any of the script callbacks which OpenVPN supports:
(1) up
(2) down
(3) route-up
(4) ipchange
(5) tls-verify
(6) auth-user-pass-verify
(7) client-connect
(8) client-disconnect
(9) learn-address
See the openvpn-plugin.h file in the top-level directory of the
OpenVPN source distribution for more detailed information
on the plugin interface.
Included Plugins
----------------
auth-pam -- Authenticate using PAM and a split privilege
execution model which functions even if
root privileges or the execution environment
have been altered with --user/--group/--chroot.
Tested on Linux only.
down-root -- Enable the running of down scripts with root privileges
even if --user/--group/--chroot have been used
to drop root privileges or change the execution
environment. Not applicable on Windows.
examples -- A simple example that demonstrates a portable
plugin, i.e. one which can be built for *nix
or Windows from the same source.
Building Plugins
----------------
cd to the top-level directory of a plugin, and use the
"make" command to build it. The examples plugin is
built using a build script, not a makefile.
