One management-interface capability that seems useful that I don't see covered in the documentation is the ability to have OpenVPN support a "hibernating" state (in which no actual VPN connections are made or accepted), optionally invoked on startup and set/reset via the management interface. That way an OpenVPN client could be run on boot in hibernating state as an administrative user, and an unprivileged user could toggle its actual operation on and off. To my knowledge the nearest alternative right now is starting on boot with a password-associated key (or auth-user-pass) and management-query-passwords set, and using the management interface to provide the passwords (starting it up) or trigger a SIGHUP to interrupt service. This doesn't seem quite satisfactory. Otherwise, it looks good -- though it's hard to say anything for sure until I've played with it more (my side project based on the management interface went on hiatus due to a large project at work getting a near-future deadline assigned; consequently, it may be a week or so until I've had time to finish exercising the whole thing programmatically). ____________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users Warning: require_once(../../../archive_common.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/openvpn/domains/openvpn.net/public_html/archive/openvpn-users/2004-12/msg00089.html on line 195 Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../../archive_common.php' (include_path='/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/openvpn/domains/openvpn.net/public_html/archive/openvpn-users/2004-12/msg00089.html on line 195 |
