1. Issues with supplying username/password/response via file/stdin/management interface

• Full IRC discussion: attachment:auth-user-pass-discussion.txt here
• Waldner has been adding support for supplying username only to --auth-user-pass
  • It was agreed on #openvpn-devel IRC that this makes sense, as usernames rarely change
• Waldner's proposed changes opened a can of worms. There are at least three issues:
  1. Supporting inline files
  2. Including support for user-name only via file (inline or not)
     • This may require significant refactoring
  3. Using a user-file (inline or not) with challenge-response
     • This does not work currently: is this a bug or a design decision/feature?

2. openvpn-build issues

• How to track build changes (from pekster)
• Ideas on how to make the nsis stuff easier (from pekster)
• Adding snappy support (from mattock)
  • Mattock has snappy support in his local openvpn-build Git repo
  • The problem is that snappy pulls in an 8MB library as a dependency, increasing installer size considerably
  • Suggestions for fixing this?
    • Static linking?
    • Creating a slimmed down shared library?
    • Something else?
