Conclusion:

• Modify merce_user table, add two columns (i) has_vpnaccess 'Y/N', (ii) keyexpiry - to hold VPN key expiry date.
• Modify Management UI to accept the value for above fields.
• Modify user module to handle:
• VPN key expiry. Auto-generate the VPN key after expiry.
• Allow administrator to allow/deny user to connect using VPN. Do not delete the VPN keys if the user is denied acces using VPN.
• Delete the VPN keys only when the user is deleted from Merce system.

• Generate the VPN key when user is created. Check, instead of regenerating the keys when password changes, just change the pass-phrase used to access the key. If this is not supported then use empty pass-phrase.
• Add link in UI to allow the user to download his/her keys.
