TO configure LDAP based authentication for openvpn use these steps:
#Install openvpn-auth-ldap plugin using '<tt>yum -y install openvpn-auth-ldap</tt>'
#Use '<tt>chown -R openvpn:openvpn /etc/openvpn/auth</tt>'
#Edit '<tt>/etc/openvpn/auth/ldap.conf</tt>' file and add appropriate values. Avoid use of TLS using testing by setting '<tt>TLSEnable	no</tt>'. Also modify default search filter to '<tt>SearchFilter	"(uid=%u)"</tt>' assuming accountStatus field is not present in the schema.
#Edit '<tt>server.conf</tt>' and add following line:
#:<pre>
#::plugin /usr/lib64/openvpn/plugin/lib/openvpn-auth-ldap.so /etc/openvpn/auth/ldap.conf
#:</pre>
#Use '<tt>service openvpn restart</tt>'
#Test the configuration by connecting to VPN. Note that the client configuration should have:
#:<pre>
#::auth-user-pass
#::auth-retry interact
#:</pre>
#If connection is successful optionally try using TLS for openVPN and LDAP server communication
