I'm a kind of a newbie to openvpn for the moment, but it looks like I could
do that for the authentication part.

I'll have a look at this, thanks.

Unless openvpn is able to assign IP addresses from different pools given the
LDAP group of a user, I'm afraid that I'll need to keep my radius server IP
pool management.

Is openvpn able to assign IP addresses given parameters from an LDAP
directory or from radius reply attributes ?
