- New option --command <action> <params> to send commands to
a running instance of openvpn-gui.exe
Supported actions are
connect, disconnect, reconnect
each of which takes the name of the config (with or without the
extension .ovpn) as a parameter;
disconnect_all, exit
which take no parameter and
silent_connection
which takes an optional parameter = 0 or 1 (1 is the default)
Examples: with the gui running, start a new instance as
openvpn-gui.exe --command disconnect myvpn : ask running instance
to disconnect myvpn if connected
openvpn-gui.exe --command status myvpn : ask running instance
to show the status window for myvpn if available
openvpn-gui.exe --command disconnect_all : ask running instance
to disconnect all active connections
- The second instance exits after issuing a SendMessage to the
already running instance. If no action is specified, the running
instance is notified to show a balloon to alert the user
- These messages may also be sent from scripts as COPYDATA messages
with the wData element specifying the action to execute and lpData
a pointer to the parameter. The dwData param must be one of
WM_OVPN_xxx with xxx = START, STOP, RESTART, STOPALL, EXIT or
SILENT. See main.h for their values.

- Effective only when username and password are saved.
- The user may interrupt auto submission and edit the username/password.
- If silent_connection is on the dialog is bypassed without any delay.
v2 changes:
- Display message in normal text color and show remaining time

- Flag password and username input if these contain an invalid character
(currently only embedded '\n' is disallowed). Shows a popup when OK
is pressed so that the user can correct the input and resubmit.
- Add an error message to the log when the management i/f returns
ERROR for incorrectly parsed commands. Otherwise such errors go
unnoticed.
Note: IDS_ERR_INVALID_USERNAME/PASSWORD need translations.

When the username is filled automatically, set the focus to
the password field. This way you can enter the password
immedediately without having the press TAB (or even worst
users using the mouse to click on the password field).
- A new registry HKLM\Software\OpenVPN\disable_save_passwords
(32 bit DWORD value) may be set to a non-zero value to
disable password saving by users. Applies to both auth and
private key passwords. Usernames are always saved.

Support the following echo commands
- "echo forget-passwords": delete passwords internally saved by the GUI
but do not disable the password save feature. Useful when pushed
from the server so that it gets processed after authentication. Also see
management-notes.txt in openvpn docs.
- "echo save-passwords": enables private-key and auth-user-pass passwords
to be saved. Will be effective at startup only if present in the config
file. If pushed from the server, will get used for subsequent
password prompts. Essentially this has the effect of presenting the password
dialogs to the user with save-password checkbox selected. The user may still
uncheck it during the dialog.
Note: echo commands are processed as and when they are received and in the order
received.

- Check system metric for large and small icon sizes and
try to load the correct size instaed of scaling from one size.
Scaling will still happen if the required size is not available
in the icon resource. As we add more icon sizes they will
get automatically used as needed.
LoadImage scales up from next smallest size available. Revisit this
when LoadIconWithScaleDown (Vista+) becomes available in mingw.

- Set dpi-awareness to true in the manifest (i.e., "system-dpi aware")
- Check system dpi and scale and/or position widgets and windows
that depend on the system dpi (only components within the status
window are affected).
Note: Declaring dpi awareness eliminates automatic rescaling of
windows that causes blurred text on high dpi monitors.
Windows 8.1 and later allow per monitor dpi setting which is
not handled here.

When openvpn exits due to error, the GUI pops up a modal dialog and
waits on user to click OK before cleaning up resources and closing
the status window. During this phase if the user clicks "connect"
from the tray menu, a new thread is started overwriiting several
handles in the connection struct.
Fix: Refuse to start a connection when previous status thread is
still active. Instead, bring the exisiting status window to fore-ground.
Also make the modal dialog a child of the status window for better
visibility.

Sometimes gracefully stopping openvpn fails leaving the
process running in background. This causes restarting of
connections to fail until those processes are manually killed.
- Read process ID from interactive service to get process
handle when openvpn is started by the service.
- Add a last resort method to forcefully terminate openvpn
process that fails to exit aftier sending stop signal. Terminate
is triggered after a 3 second timeout following Stop.

Option ediitng dialogs are in two tabs: General and Advanced.
Proxy related options are left in the proxy tab. Options
config_dir, config_ext, log_dir, script timeouts and
service-only flag are in the Advanced tab. All other more commonly
used flags and options are in the General tab.
- As options are editable, save values in registry only when they differ
from the default values. This leaves the registry clean and makes changing
options and their defaults during updates easier.
- Entries for config_dir and log_dir must be absolute paths.
Environemental variables such as %PROFILEDIR% may be used
to construct these.
- Empty config_dir, config_ext and log_dir entries are silently
ignored (i.e., the current values are left unchanged).
- Store all numeric and boolean parameters in registry as DWORD instead of
strings.
- On startup, the default parameters are loaded, then the registry is read
and finally command-line parameters parsedi.
- Out of range script timeout values in registry truncated with a
warning instead of fatal error. This allows the user to access the
settings dialog and make corrections.
- Save proxy and language settings under the same
HKCU\Software\OpenVPN-GUI key as other options instead of under Nilings.
- Save the current version of the GUI in regsitry so that updates
can be detected and any needed registry cleanup done.
- If no version info is present in the registry any values in OpenVPN-GUI
key in HKCU are deleted for a clean start as this is the first version
to save registry values in HKCU. Language and proxy data if present
under Nilings is migrated.
Note: new controls in the General tab and newly added Advanced tab dialog
are copied to all language files from the English version. These need to
be translated.

- Always include the proxy settings tab which is the default.
- Remove the unused power event handling and disconnect_on_suspend key.
- Remove password_attempts -- user can stop the password dilaog
by clicking cancel.
- Remove allow_service: implicitly enabled if service_only is used.

- Username and, optionally, password as well as the private
key passphrase are saved in config-specific registry keys
- All saved data are kept encrypted using DPAPI
- The passphrase dialog is skipped if a valid saved private
key password is available. However, the user-auth dialog
is always presented, prefilled with the saved username
and password.
Note: A text string "Save password" is added to three dialogs
in all language resource files. Additional text with ids
IDS_MENU_CLEARPASS and IDS_NFO_DELETE_PASS are added to the
STRINGTABLE only in the English language resource file.

When a connection is attempted using a config in a location
that would fail, offer an option to add the user to the "OpenVPN
Administrators" group. This is done using shell-execute which will
show a UAC prompt for elevation. If it fails (due to user chooses
NO or the UAC dialog fails) the connection is not started.
v2 Changes
- Rebase to master
- Automaticlaly add the admin group if it doesn't exist
- Allow unicode strings in debug output
- Use domain\username to identify user
- Fix the PrintDebug macro
Minor changes based on user feedback
- Bring the window back to foreground after UAC prompt completion
- Show a message if another connection is tried during authorization
- Do not add user to ovpn_admin_group if it is same as the built-in admin group

- Handle early errors (openvpn exits before management connection is up)
with a helpful error message that points the user to view log.
- Include only readable config files in the connection list
- Warn if no connection profiles found

This is needed to avoid early messages going to stdout leaving no
trace of errors when openvpn exits before management interface is up.
It also ensures that any --log directives in the config do not override
