The NM openvpn plugin requires that the remote certificate is created with a 
server certificate designation (which seems to often get missed/ignored by 
certificate creation scripts). This restriction should prevent a man in the 
middle attack, where an attacker with a valid client certificate is 
impersonating the server.
