That should work for re-connecting as the same or a different user.
I have a management-based UI that uses SIGUSR1 and SIGHUP to connect and
disconnect. It has always worked for a dozen of Windows users I have been
supporting...(with 2.2 and 2.3 server and clients). Change of username
after SIGUSR1 or SIGHUP works too. An example session from a Linux client
using telnet is at the bottom of this email.
If still not working, please post the server and client configs.

On the client using telnet for illustration (typed commands are marked with

$ telnet localhost 7500

Note that this is with passwords remembered and persist-tun, so the TUN/TAP
instance is reused and password is not prompted.
SIGHUP is more costly as the tun/tap is closed and re-opened, routes are
deleted and recreated etc.. but only marginally so.
Now, redo with with forget-passwords
