If only using ‘Remote ( SSL/TLS )’ server mode, create a new User Certificate for the new client. Make sure to sign the cert with the same CA that the Server Cert is signed with.
Once the new User Certificate is created, the option to export the Client config via the ‘Client Export’ section becomes available.
Export using the ‘Most clients’ inline configuration type.
