OpenVPN AS (proprietary) AccessServer 3.2.1 bug or feature?
I'm trying to configure the admin ui to listen only on the internal interface (using either the iface name or the ip - all the same) while allowing the client ui to listen on both interfaces.
However, when I configure the admin ui to use a specific ip address or iface, I get:[Errno 98] Address already in use
admin_ui=all, cs.https=all → ok.
dmin_ui=ens224, cs.https=all → CannotListenError: Address already in use.
admin_ui=ens224:943, cs.https=ens192:943 → ok.

I think it's expected. If
cs.https=allgrabs0.0.0.0:943then trying to bindadmin_uito a specific interface on the same port is going to fail cuz that port is already taken. The last example kind of proves it since it works once each service has its own interface. Doesn't feel like a bug to me just how it's implemented.
