Subject: [PATCH 4/5] openvpn: Default to 10 AuthErrorLimit unless set by user
Date: Thu,  2 Sep 2021 18:11:23 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210902151124.4983-5-jussi.laakkonen@jolla.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210902151124.4983-1-jussi.laakkonen@jolla.com>

Unless the user has set a value for provider property "AuthErrorLimit"
default to 10 attempts after a successful connection has been made before
allowing to clear the credentials. This is imperative for the cases when
OpenVPN server requires client to do a clean shutdown but the network
goes down before it can be completed. In these cases server may respond
back with AUTH_FAILED control message until it determines that old
client is realy gone. By using this limit credentials are not
unnecessarily cleared because there was no real problem with them.
