I'm on a fresh install of CentOS 7 and take my config that works on

Password entry required for 'Enter Auth Username:' (PID 23461).
Please enter password with the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent tool!

So, run "systemd-tty-ask-password-agent". You should be prompted for the password, there.

OpenVPN in CentOS was built with --enable-systemd, which uses the agent so that connections can be started as a service and still use password authentication.
