Open source VPN account management solution

Is there any Open source VPN (openvpn) account management solution out there?
Basically I need to manage users (Add,Delete,Edit) as well as set their quota.

edit: nevermind, i misread
I wonder if there is a way to add plugins to OpenVPN-AS to setup a quota.
Yes there is, it is called ssh, or, the shell.
He want to set their quota and it can not done from ssh
ssh as in via the shell, editing the config files.
OpenVPN has no traffic accounting built-in. So which config files should he edit?
If the software does not support it, then how would he manage it via a tool which manages the software?
Do it the old fashion way. A can of red bull, some elbow grease, and lots and lots of "hacking" music.
Combination of SQL and AAA.
He asked for an account management solution. Maybe just like Solus, cPanel et al but with the only difference that it should be for OpenVPN. He didn't just ask for a simple GUI. Is that so hard to understand?
If you can get your hands on a copy of "OpenVPN 2 Cookbook", there's a section dealing with traffic shaping. Maybe this will help you somehow to archieve a quota.

Quite a few exist, but you may have to improve on them as they are not exactly perfect.

@rchurch looks interesting.
