OpenVPN Access Server System Administrator Guide

4 Admin Web UI Reference
This section describes each page of the Admin Web UI. Since most pages contain several “panels”
with grouped settings, the descriptions cover each page‟s panels individually.
4.1 Status Pages
4.1.1 Status Overview
Figure 11: Status Overview page
The Status Overview page has three main components:
The Server Status section shows you whether the VPN Server is currently ON or OFF. Based on
the current status, you can either Start the Server or Stop the Server with a button near the top of
the page.
The Configuration section displays a few of the more important Access Server configuration
settings. These settings are not modifiable on the Status Overview page.
The Current VPN Users section displays a list of users that are currently connected to the VPN
Server, or '(none)' if either the VPN Server is not running or if it is running but no users are
connected. A column of buttons under the “Block” heading allows the administrator to
immediately disconnect and disable access for a user that is currently connected to the VPN
(provided that the user is not the administrator viewing the page). When this button is pushed for a
given user, the user is added to the User Permissions configuration (if the username is not already
present in that configuration) with the “Deny” property enabled. Thus, you can re-enable access to
such a user by unchecking the user‟s “Deny” checkbox on the User Permissions page.
