Why (the hell) do you need that? And I don't belive that is possible without changing some sources....

Wait for the RADIUS-Implementation and set one up or just by writing some scripts doing that for you. Take a look in the manual. 6.2.3 and 6.2.4 (https://www.softether.org/4-docs/1-manu ... _of_vpncmd)

SoftEther has its private management tool to control vpnserver or vpnbridge.

It is pretty hard to be controlled in Embedded System.

Here is a method to create passwords for user list, it is cli command in linux and openssle, the command will create a base64 password for user_list.

admin is a password and the key is come from checked source codes.



echo -ne "admin" | openssl rc4 -K "456E637279707450617373776F726432" -e -a -nopad -nosalt

Thank you arprip

But my point is to avoid using the users list defined in the vpn_server_config file.

i need to define in the vpn_server_config file a link to another file which contains all users list and each user password should be stored in plain text.

is that possible?

SoftEther can't disable the encryption option of storing the user's password in vpn_server_config file.
If you want to manage users by another file, it's better to make script or program using vpncmd (http://www.softether.org/4-docs/1-manua ... _of_vpncmd).
