Open VPN Client Configuration

Notes:

1. Authentication is via certificates, no passwords are used. 1. Each client certificate is assigned an IP address, thus the same certificate cannot be used by two people at the same time. 1. If a person leaves the organization, that certificate must be revoked on the server to cancel access permissions. 1. A windows client may be bundled with the certificate download, but any OpenVPN client may be used, (eg Linux, Mac, or newer Windows version).
