Assign a Certificate to a Profile
OpenVPN Connect supports assigning a PKCS#12 certificate to an appropriate Connection Profile. This guide shows you how.
Before you begin
Ensure you have imported a certificate and have an appropriate connection profile.
Important
The connection profile must not contain the <cert> or <key>. That way, the connection profile requires an external certificate.
Launch OpenVPN Connect.
Click or tap the + icon.
The Import Profile screen displays.
Click or tap File.
Upload the .ovpn file by dragging and dropping it in the window or with Browse.
The Imported Profile screen displays with profile information.
Under Certificate and Key, click or tap Assign.
Note
If this option doesn't display, the connection profile includes <cert> and <key>, and you can't attach an external certificate.
The Certificates & Tokens screen displays.
Click or tap the appropriate certificate and then Confirm.
The Imported Profile screen displays with the certificate attached.
Click or tap Connect.
Launch OpenVPN Connect.
Click or tap the Edit icon for the appropriate profile.

Note
If this option doesn't display, the connection profile includes <cert> and <key>, and you can't attach an external certificate.
