Deitmar,
I assume you are referring to how the client embeds certificates when
exporting the site configuration? Its so the configuration data is
complete and self contained. An operational site configuration should
only point to the certificate file path and not contain certificate
data. In other words, the certificate data is added to the vpn file on
export and stripped during import.
Thanks,
-Matthew
