We currently use plugin-auth-pam which talks to pam_radius, and that
one talks to a Kobil Secure-something server that does the actual OTP
validation.

The reason we do it that way is "it worked" :-) - and we use the same
authentication backend for SSH, so pam_radius solved both OpenVPN and
SSH authentication in one go.  Using radiusplugin might have been
nicer for OpenVPN, but "openvpn only".

We do not use challenge (static or dynamic) today, as we did not know
that these exist when building the system - so the user enters
his "token + PIN" as one string into the "Password:" field, and the
Kobil RADIUS backend knows which bits are which.

Challenge would definitely be nicer, but I totally lack time to work on
that - "it works as it is", so the pressure to build something "better"
is small.
