Description
I am not sure what needs to be done but I would think there needs to be some improvement in the profile creation.
When I made a new profile and selected File then dragged my .ovpn file there it also asked for the cert, I couldn't figure out how or where this cert was or how to add one as it wasn't very intuitive. My OpenVPN server gave me ca.crt and .ovpn files, only after some time and looking in the settings and in the profile did I stumble on a setting to not includ a cert. While I was looking in the settings I did see that I could add a new cert but no matter how I named the ca.crt, it wouldn't find it. What is it actually looking for? I am also not sure I ever came across any docs if it needs to be converted to something else or if its actually needed/necessary.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing profile creation with a .ovpn file and ca.crt, then trace the File import and certificate handling in the profile and settings flows. Done means the required certificate is clearly identified, can be added or located reliably, and the import path explains when it is optional.
