[Openvpn-users] TLS; a remote client to strict running daemon

Hi,I have got about 20 virtual interfaces binded to internal interface.

Each of them represents a gateway for a VLAN segment.

I must ensure a remote user (=memeber a specific VLAN) can acces strictly the 

specific VLAN when connected remotely.

If I used client authentication via shared secret I can pair by this key 

running 

daemon on server site with client and set up proper routing.

But I'd like to use TLS. But I need a strict client with its certificate 

connected to only strict running daemon. 

How I understood all clients with valid certificates can connect to 

any daemon on the gateway (if they know port, address,... and have proper CA 

certificates, keys,...) if the are not on CRL

Does anybody know how to solve the strict daemon to strict client

(certificate) relationship by using TLS?



(I found 2 options: 

1. to create for each daemon CRL file filling with all other certificates

or

2. to create separate CA for each of VLANs

 but both are quite complicated :) .)



Thanks for your answer
