auth-user-pass up

If ``up`` is present, it must be a file containing username/password on 2
lines. If the password line is missing, OpenVPN will prompt for one.
lines. If the password line is missing, OpenVPN will prompt for one on
stdin.

*NOTE*: If you use a graphical OpenVPN client such as OpenVPN GUI on Windows,
you should either define both the username and password in the file, or rely
on the GUI caching the credentials; defining just the username in the file
will not work.

If ``up`` is omitted, username/password will be prompted from the
console.
