Tutorial: Changing the XML-RPC Function Support⁠

• An installed Access Server.

• Console access and the ability to get root access.

• To see XML-RPC calls on the command line with the sacli VPNSummary function use:

  OPENVPN_AS_DEBUG_XML=1 ./sacli VPNSummary

• This will display the XML query and response, helping you understand the necessary calls.

• Use the following command to change the XML-RPC support level:

  ./sacli --key "xmlrpc.relay_level" --value <NUMBER> ConfigPut
  ./sacli start

  1. 1

     Replace <NUMBER> with one of the following values:

     • 0 — Disable XML-RPC API entirely, which breaks server-locked profile-type connections.

     • 1 — Enable limited XML-RPC API for server-locked profile-type connections only (default).

     • 2 — Fully enable XML-RPC API, allowing full remote control of Access Server's functions.

• Ensure the changes take effect by restarting the Access Server service:

  ./sacli start

By following these steps, you can configure and utilize the XML-RPC interface on your Access Server, allowing for enhanced remote management capabilities.
