Connect to your Access Server via SSH and get root privileges.

sudo -i
2
Create a new Client Profile for your VPN user:
/usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/sacli --prefer-tls-crypt-v2 --user futurex_user GetUserlogin > futurex_profile.ovpn
Replace futurex_user with the actual VPN username and futurex_profile with your desired profile name.
The --prefer-tls-crypt-v2 flag enables TLS crypt v2 for improved security. This is recommended for all new client profiles.
