It is not possible to import an OpenVPN configuration file that has
inline certificates marked in html-style tags if the VPN configuration
in question uses certificate-based authentication.
After choosing to import an existing OpenVPN connection and selecting
the .ovpn file, the VPN editor dialog opens normally but the connection
cannot be saved, as the Save button is greyed out. The certificate file
selector buttons say "(None)". Expectation: it should be possible to
press the Save button and optionally show that the file uses inline
certs, or the edit dialog should be skipped completely.
There is a workaround: rip all the certificates out of the .ovpn file
and put them in external files, e.g. take the contents of the <tls-auth
></tls-auth> tag pair, put it in a file called foo.key and replace the
tagged part with "tls-auth foo.key". However, this beats the whole
purpose of putting all certs in a single file.
