how can i get cid in management interface?

i want to get the client process terminated by sending AUTH_FAILED to the client. i know i can do this using "client-kill {cid} AUTH_FAILED". But i have to know the cid of the user first.

A google searching lead me to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/openvpn-devel/jIvifrFOJyk/pHBXiMiCD0IJ

there's a patch for this issue, but the offical release 2.3.4 doesn't include this patch.

so is there any way to get the cid for now?

thanks!

Thanks for your reply.

i just wonder if there's a technical reason for not applying this patch?
I'm asking this because I could apply this patch myself if this patch doesn't introduce any kinda bug.

Thanks!

Correct.

So far this is the only way with unpatched versions:

Code:

The CID, in this case, is 6.
