Then don't use "auth-nocache", but it really depends on what you want to achieve. You could also raise the renegotiation interval to some very large value, larger than any connection is ever likely to last, so renegotiation doesn't occur after just one hour (which is the default). Note that reauthentication happens anyway when the renegotiation interval expires, but normally you don't notice since the credentials are cached and openvpn automatically sends them to the server without user interaction. Since you're telling it to not cache the credentials, you are prompted again to re-enter them. You mentioned OTP: is the user only supposed to enter the OTP only once when they connect, or do they have to periodically re-enter a new password while the connection is running? I seem to understand it's the former, in which case you don't need auth-nocache. (reauthentication with auth-nocache could also be performed automatically using the management interface and having an application managing it, but it's not clear whether this use case applies to your scenario). -- D. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
