Keywords: push-peer-info server added

What exactly does "server-side support is missing" mean?

Priority: major → minor

This is what partially implemented means (quoting cron2 at #openvpn-devel): 

push-peer-info on the server side is ONLY exported to
management-interface, not to normal environment, logfile, or
client-connect script

Some additional nuggets from plaisthos at #openvpn-devel: 

It [push-peer-info] sends version, platform, mac of the default gw
and all environment variables that begin with UV_ to the server

...and from cron2 at #openvpn-devel: 

Seems ppi is relayed to management interface, and AS will then know
"ah, this is iOS client -> can do snappy" (part of the [push-peer-info]
patch set is "always send a sub-set of push-peer-info data, even if not
explicitely turned on")

Resolution: → fixed
Status: new → closed

The data is now exported to the client via environment variables. Closing.
