This is actually expected, I'd say - but smells like a bug on the server side
authentication.

Selva may correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding of it when clicking
"Reconnect", the local OpenVPN process which caches the auth-token is stopped
and a new OpenVPN process is started.  The client should in this case ask for
username/password again.  So in this case, the server side should treat this
connection as a fresh connection with no initial state.

The step of stopping the local client and starting a new and fresh one is
definitely not a bad feature to have on clients.

This is no good argument for me.  This is one specific setup with 1000 users.
It would be more valuable with 50 different setups having 20 users each.  Your
conclusion is based on a very homogeneous environment.
