Bug Description

When using the OpenVPN Access Server to create client configuration files, they do not import into network-manager.

Starting nm-connection-editor from the command line gives:

** (nm-connection-editor:2984): WARNING **: Invalid setting VPN: ca

The ovpn file contains all certificates and private keys as well as the configuration options for OpenVPN. It is written out by the OpenVPN AS package from openvpn.net.

To repeat, download their access server package, create a user, log on, and download the client.ovpn file that is offered to you. Network Manager won't accept it for import.
