+#
+#   tls-verify "./verify-cn /etc/openvpn/allowed_clients"
+#
+# This would cause the connection to be dropped unless
+# the client common name is listed on a line in the
+# allowed_clients file.

+#             taken from the argument to the tls-verify directive
+#             in the OpenVPN config file.
+#             The file can have blank lines and comment lines that begin
