You are completely right :-) Both IPA server and client are RHEL6.3 x86_64 boxes.
On the OpenVPN server (which is an IPA client), I have 2 OpenVPN instances running, because different users must end up in different subnet's OpenVPN instance 1 listens on port 50000 OpenVPN instance 2 listens on port 50001 Users for subnet 1 must connect and authenticate on instance 1 (and get an IP in subnet 1) Users for subnet 2 must connect and authenticate on instance 2 (and get an IP in subnet 2) Both OpenVPN instances use the login pam module. In this setup I can not prevent users for subnet 2 to connect and authenticate successfully on OpenVPN instance 1. So, I would like to put the users for OpenVPN instance 1 in group OpenVPN1 en users for OpenVPN instance 2 in group OpenVPN2 on IPA. Next, the OpenVPN daemon must be able to check a user for membership. Is it is not a member, false is returned, and the OpenVMN authentication fails. Documentation for the openvpn_auth_pam is here<https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/browser/plugin/auth-pam/README?rev=6cfada268122fe54ce6d211d96c744e91d41248c> .
