Hello,

When the authentication method is user+pass, Client Certificate and Key must be included in the client config file?

In my configuration I have the following in the client ovpn file: ca.crt, client.crt, client.key, ta.key.

it's not required if you set the client-cert-not-required option on the server or the more recent option verify-client-cert none
but the CA is required on the clients to be able to verify the server's certificate

check the manual page for more info
