you can via managment console -BUT-
if they run openvpn as service they will reconnect..
to temporary block them you must use ccd-exclusive directive
and rename/remove their ccd file..

Dear Maikcat,
I have establish one connection of client to server initially kept its file in ccd dir now
and on running connection i have renamed its file in ccd folder still the client is connected.
Howto gracefully kill it, is it possible without management interface..

Hey Maikcat,
I have done it using management interface only.
I opened one tcp socket on management interface on my gui
and send kill command with specific client common name instance.\
Thanking You
