[Openvpn-users] How to ignore client certificate temporarily

[Hellmut G. <hg...@ge...>]

Hi,

I am admin of a OpenVPN network. The network clients are leased systems sited at a lot of different customers at different places. The VPN is needed to send messages to that clients from the server and for remote administration of the clients. But I don't have the chance to handle the clients physically. As long as the certificates are valid, I can do my yearly service. But there are some systems, which I have missed to service in time and so the certificates are outdated.

Do I have any chance to ignore the certificate date at the server for a special client temporarily? Then I would like to authorize a new cert and reset the system to normal state. 

Any ideas are welcome.
