Tutorial: Set a Local Connection Limit⁠

• At least two servers with Access Server installed.

• An active subscription on the servers.

• Console access to the servers with root privileges.

• When you apply a subscription to multiple Access Servers, each server can establish the total number of VPN connections specified by the subscription.

• For example, if your subscription allows 10 VPN connections and is activated on three servers, each server can accept up to 10 connections. However, if the total number of connections across all servers exceeds the subscription limit (10 in this case), the system will automatically reduce the number of allowed connections on the servers to maintain compliance with the subscription.

1. Connect to the console and get root privileges.

2. Run the following command, replacing <NUMBER_OF_CONNECTIONS> with your desired maximum number of connections.

   sacli --key "subscription.local_cc_limit" --value "<NUMBER_OF_CONNECTIONS>" ConfigPut

3. Restart the Access Server service to apply the changes:

   systemctl restart openvpnas

This command sets a local limit on the specific server, ensuring it will not exceed the specified number of connections, even if the subscription allows more.

1. Connect to the console and get root privileges.

2. Run the command to delete the local limit configuration:

   sacli --key "subscription.local_cc_limit" ConfigDel

3. Restart the Access Server service:

   systemctl restart openvpnas

This will reset the server to its default behavior, allowing it to use the full number of connections permitted by the subscription.
