The entire program structure of the SoftEther VPN Server has been carefully designed, so that the VPN Server process itself does not have to be rebooted regardless of the type of settings changes being made. The only exceptions whereby the VPN Server process must be rebooted are the following four cases.
...
The administration authority for the entire VPN Server is protected by a password. This password is initially blank so we recommend changing it immediately after installing the VPN Server (Footnote: the current installer does not display a window to set the password during installation). Connecting to the VPN Server using the VPN Server Manager when no Administrator password has been set displays a message box prompting the setting of a password, so please click [Yes] and set the password immediately. A password set on the VPN Server possesses the same degree of safety as an Administrator password on a Windows or UNIX server. Please rest assured that a VPN Server Administrator password is hashed and then saved then will no longerand cannot be restored as clear text.
...
When designating an SSL certificate, the X.509 format file and RSA private key data of the certificate to be set are required. These files may be bundled together as one file in the PKCS#12 format. Where no particular SSL certificate is designated, the VPN Server will automatically generate a random certificate (Self Signed Certificate) using random numbers upon the initial launch of the VPN Server, so there is no problem with using this default certificate as it is when there is only a small group environment and the digest value and so on can safely be notified to the VPN Client's users.
...
Clicking on [Edit Config.] in the VPN Server Manager displays the contents of the current VPN Server Configuration file. It is also possible to save the file in UTF-8 format. The same function can also be used to upload a Configuration file prepared on the Administrator's client terminal. When uploading and writing the Configuration file, the server function of the VPN Server automatically reboots and reads the contents of the new Configuration file. Manual rebooting or rebooting of the VPN Server process itself are not required. Upon completion of the reboot and Configuration file read, the VPN Server commences operation based on the contents of the new Configuration file.
