I did not have the right ca.crt file. In addition, it was a compressed
archive with a missing extension which I found out by running the 'file'
command.
To list the files in a compressed archive, don't forget to include the z
(or Z) switch:
prompt$ tar tzf openvpn_keys.tar.gz
.....
The ca.crt file should be plaintext with ---Begin
Certificate---<...>---End Certificate---
Problem solved.
