Summary0000262: Enforce common name information to match username on authentication
DescriptionBy default, OpenVPN will accept any user's certificates with any user's username/password. To put it another way, an attacker can use Tim's certificates and Mary's password to login to the VPN server. Ideally, only Tim's password would work with Tim's certificates.

If possible, implement this is in a way that can be pushed upstream to the OpenVPN project. Also not that the "--tls-verify" option should be able to provide a command line workaround - see "man openvpn".

Would require patching all OpenVPN clients. User certificates are not part of the handshake.
