SYNOPSIS
========
| ``openvpn3-as`` [ OPTIONS ] ``URL``
| ``openvpn3-as`` ``-h`` | ``--help``


DESCRIPTION
===========
This utility can download a configuration profile directly from an
OpenVPN Access Server.  It requires an URL to the Access Server and will
query the user for authentication credentials before connecting to the
server.


OPTIONS
=======

-h, --help            show this help message and exit

--autologin
                      Download the auto-login profile (default:
                      ``user-login`` profile).  The auto-login profile will
                      not ask the user for credentials before connecting
                      to the Access Server, but this feature may not be
                      available for all user profiles.

--systemd-start
                      Start the downloaded profile automatically after
                      downloading it, using the systemd
                      ``openvpn3-sessions@.service`` unit file; see the
                      ``openvpn3-systemd``\(1) man page for details.  Enabling
                      this will also start this unit file at boot.  This
                      requires ``openvpn3-as`` to be run as ``root``.

--impersistent
                      Do not import the configuration profile as a persistent
                      profile (default: ``persistent``)

--name CONFIG-NAME
                      Override the automatically generated profile name
                      (default: :code:`AS:$servername`)

--owner USERNAME
                      Transfer the ownership of the downloaded configuration
                      profile to ``USERNAME``.  This requires ``openvpn3-as``
                      to be run as ``root``.  This is useful when used together
                      with ``--systemd-start``.

--username USERNAME
                      Username to use for OpenVPN Access Server login

--insecure-certs
                      Accept invalid and potentially insecure TLS server
                      certificates.  This is typically needed if the Access
                      Server uses a self-signed certificate or issued by a
                      Certificate Authority not known by the system.  Use this
                      feature carefully.
