[Openvpn-users] small feature suggestion

[Nik <openvpn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I am about to implement a multi-client installation with a mixture of 
client machines (PC, linux, and maybe even Mac).

One thing I have noticed is that I am having to modify the client script 
to match the requirements of the platform.

One solution is to keep multiple copies of the client-config file, one 
per platform.

Another is to build a script that generates or modifies a base script.

My suggestion is to add some form of specifying the pathname to the 
various TLS files in a single location, and refer to it symbolically. To 
avoid the issues of pathname separator altogether, one could default the 
 path.

Something like:

set HOME=c:\\Program\ Files\\
ca my-ca.crt
tls-auth tls-auth.crt

would prepend $HOME/ to each file name.

Alternatively:

set HOME=/etc/openvpn
ca $HOME/my-ca.crt
tls-auth $HOME/tls-auth.crt

and just translate '/' to '\\' as required.

Cheers!
Nik
