Description
I am using OpenVPN's management interface with Shimo (MacOSX VPN Client) and I realized that I am unable to login when the user password contains a German umlaut. Same holds for other UTF8 characters.
Currently I am using OpenVPN version 2.2.2

this might not be "just" an umlaut issue, but an "is the umlaut encoding the same on the OpenVPN client and the OpenVPN server" (so if the Mac GUI sends UTF8 umlauts to the management interface and the server compares to ISO umlauts...)
No idea how SSH and friends solve this. I just don't use non-ASCII characters in usernames or passwords...

Can someone reproduce this on 2.3.2 or latest Git "master"?
