ca_cert was the root ca of your radius server.
private_key_password was used to generate your client ca, the 
client_key.pem was generated for you during this process.

* generate a client ca
1)
# openssl req -new -keyout client_key.pem -out client_req.pem -days 360 
-config ./openssl.cnf
(need input your private_key_password)

2)
# openssl ca -config ./openssl.cnf -policy policy_anything -out 
client_cert.pem \
-infiles ./client_req.pem
