Sorry, I don't understand the question. Can you tell me what "a file.pfx file" means to you, that I am not aware of?
openvpn --config files (see
--config in the
manual) are just plain text files.

A PFX file , is a single, password protected certificate archive that contains the entire certificate chain plus the matching private key. Essentially it is everything that any server will need to import a certificate and private key from a single file.

You must initially convert "pfx" to separate files private key w/o password and cert. You can do it by the "openssl" utility
see the same problem
