Credentials with OTP for OpenVPN Connect
Hello Team,
is there a way to automatically connect to a VPN with "OpenVPN Connect" using saved credentials in RDM?
I configured a "OpenVPN Connect" (Add-On is activated) and it's opening the correct profile but I still need to enter username + password + OTP. The credentials are already saved in RDM (including OTP).
Thanks!

Hello Tom,
Thank you for reaching out, happy to help.
The behavior you're seeing is expected. With the OpenVPN Connect entry, RDM launches the client and loads the correct profile, but the OpenVPN Connect client does not support receiving the username, password, or OTP from an external application. This is a limitation of OpenVPN Connect itself (its command-line interface doesn't allow credentials to be passed in), so RDM cannot auto-fill them for that entry type.
If automatic authentication including a configured OTP is your goal, the supported approach is the OpenVPN GUI entry, which uses the OpenVPN 2.x GUI client (11.15.0.0 or later). You can find the full setup, including handling passwords with special characters, here: https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/kb/troubleshooting-articles/openvpn-workaround/
