management interface - (help)

mahdeeb

First Post! - I will try to be concise.

I want to telnet into the management interface. Yet, the documentation detailing how to set it up is not clear to me. What is the syntax for creating the management port for OpenVPN? That is, can someone give an example of how it looks in the .ovpn file? Please include the syntax for the location of the password file, and what information should be placed in it.

The Manual wrote--management IP port [pw-file]
Enable a TCP server on IP:port to handle daemon management functions. pw-file, if specified, is a password file (password on first line) or "stdin" to prompt from standard input. The password provided will set the password which TCP clients will need to provide in order to access management functions.

See --management in The Manual v23x

Thanks for replying, but please reread my post. I have read the documentation, but it is not clear to me. What you posted was a copy of the documentation. I need a syntax example.

How does the syntax look in the config file?
