Hi Jan,
The current documentation says, that a remote management call should be given
only when
"The "remote" command should only be given in response to a >REMOTE
notification. For example, the following >REMOTE notification
indicates that the client config file would ordinarily connect
to vpn.example.com port 1194 (UDP):
>REMOTE:vpn.example.com,1194,udp"
i.e on reception of the above event.
Still I will try out your feedback and get back.
Thanks
Abhijit

Hi All,
I am trying to write python and C based application for modifying "OpenVpn" in
client mode via management interface.
I need to do the following
- Update the remote server the vpn client connects to at runtime
However, the current existing management interface works like
- First connects to existing specified.
- And only on reception of event, can the management interface send a
new remote site to client.
I want to
- Start openvpn in client mode, and then via my application tell
openvpn to connect to a remote site, without the reception of event as
specified in the document for management interface.
Is there a way to do this ?
Or maybe I am just lame to not understand it.
I'm not terribly experienced with the management interface but AFAIU you should
do something like
openvpn ... options .... --management-hold
which will start openvpn but it will not make the connection yet. Then use the
management interface to connect to it and issue a
remote <new ip> <new port>
and finally do a
hold release
(also inside the mgmt interface).
