Asynchronous push reply
- If asynchronous authentication is enabled and completed after server
received
- PUSH_REQUEST message, server sends PUSH_REPLY immediately without waiting
for next
- PUSH_REQUEST. Requires use of ``--enable-async-push`` as ./configure
parameter at
- build time.
+ Plug-ins providing support for deferred authentication can benefit from a
more
+ responsive authentication where the server sends PUSH_REPLY immediately
once
+ the authentication result is ready instead of waiting for the the client to
+ to send PUSH_REQUEST once more. This requires OpenVPN to be built with
+ ``./configure --enable-async-push``. This is a compile-time only switch.
