You can simplify OpenVPN distribution by only use one file for both config and certificates. A normal .ovpn file with separate .key and .crt files looks like this.

client dev tun 
dev-node Dalesjo VPN 
proto tcp 
remote my-server 443 
resolv-retry infinite 
nobind 
persist-key 
persist-tun 
remote-cert-tls server 
verb 3 
comp-lzo yes

ca DALESJO-OpenVPN.crt
cert DALESJO-SADAL.crt
key DALESJO-SADAL.key
tls-auth DALESJO-Server.tls 1
