I knew of the existence of this option but I've never seen it being used in real life. You would use this option to allow a user (based on certificate or username) a single session , until the server is restarted. This could be useful for debugging purposes, but you could also use it to allow limited (paid?) access to users: - provide them with a randomized username+password - allow access for as long as they stay connected (and of course, the server can control how long they can stay connected) - as soon as their session expires, they need to apply for a new username+password (or certificate, but that would be a lot of hassle) HTH, JJK ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
