Hi there,

Very happy that there is finally a simple way for users to manage their own TOTP tokens and Openvpn file downloads.

There are a few things that could be improved though.

  • If users authenticate via LDAP, it's not possible to hide the "Account" tab, which would be preferable to prevent them from having the impression that they can change their password when they can't.
  • The "welcome message" doesn't take line breaks into account; it would be interesting if it did, for better legibility and maybe html links.
  • End users do not need to access the online resources (Help) visible in the left-hand menu. Unless this can be configured for OpenVPN configuration, for example.

It's all about the details, but it's for a better user experience.
Do you have any other ideas for improvement or feedback?

Hello,

thank you for the feedback. I collected these and maybe some of these get addressed in a future release.

It would also be useful to have a "Custom config" option for OpenVPN configuration, as it is in the "VPN: OpenVPN: Client Export" section

Hello,

- hiding the password fields will be possible in an upcoming version
- the welcome message can be populated with HTML for custom formatting already, so we do not need to implement line breaks there

Hello Shayoo,

please tell me your solution for OTP change by users.

With privilege "page-system-usermanager-passwordmg" I get in 25.1.6 an OTP button, but not in 25.4.


As you can see the 25.4 business edition has a new user portal and you can configure it separately:
