Tutorial: How to Connect Without a Client Certificate
Overview
Access Server typically uses unique client certificates and private keys to secure the OpenVPN connection. Each user-locked, and autologin connection profile downloaded from the Access Server includes a unique public and private key pair to identify the client to the server. However, there are scenarios where you may need to connect without client certificates.
In previous versions of Access Server, disabling client certificates required modifying the no_client_cert parameter in the as.conf file. This method is no longer supported or recommended. Instead, Access Server supports connections without client certificates using a server-locked profile.
By following these steps, you can connect to your Access Server without needing client certificates, simplifying the connection process for certain use cases while maintaining security and functionality.
