Description

Our config requires usually 2 files to import:

I used the Import feature here:

Currently the .ovpn file is copied, but the certificate.p12 file is missing after import.

The config file contains e.g. the following line

pkcs12 certificatefilename123.p12

When it finds that line, it should automatically import the related file into the user's OpenVPN config folder, too.

Research direction

Start at the Import feature and trace how the .ovpn file is copied into the user's OpenVPN config folder. Check how the pkcs12 certificatefilename123.p12 line is handled. Done means the referenced certificate.p12 file is imported alongside the .ovpn file.
