vnctl.conf

This file contains configuration that is required by vnctl. This one looks a little different from all other OpenVNet configuration files because vnctl is not an OpenVNet process like the others. It's just a simple client that makes HTTP requests to OpenVNet's Web API. This will often be installed on client machines that are actually not running OpenVNet themselves.

You'll find it at /etc/openvnet/vnctl.conf.
