NAME

openvpn3-as - OpenVPN 3 Access Server Profile Downloader

SYNOPSIS

openvpn3-as [ OPTIONS ] URL
openvpn3-as -h | --help

DESCRIPTION

This utility can download a configuration profile directly from an OpenVPN Access Server. It requires an URL to the Access Server and will query the user for authentication credentials before connecting to the server.

OPTIONS

show this help message and exit
Download the auto-login profile (default: user-login profile). The auto-login profile will not ask the user for credentials before connecting to the Access Server, but this feature may not be available for all user profiles.
Start the downloaded profile automatically after downloading it, using the systemd openvpn3-sessions@.service unit file; see the openvpn3-systemd(1) man page for details. Enabling this will also start this unit file at boot. This requires openvpn3-as to be run as root.
Do not import the configuration profile as a persistent profile (default: persistent)
Override the automatically generated profile name (default: AS:$servername)
Transfer the ownership of the downloaded configuration profile to USERNAME. This requires openvpn3-as to be run as root. This is useful when used together with --systemd-start.
Username to use for OpenVPN Access Server login
Accept invalid and potentially insecure TLS server certificates. This is typically needed if the Access Server uses a self-signed certificate or issued by a Certificate Authority not known by the system. Use this feature carefully.
