Zang mentioned that part of the issue is that the private key has to be
stored in the OpenVPN config file. If the config files are generated and
can be stored, then storing the whole config file in Barbican protects the
private key (and any other settings) without having to try to deliver the
key to the OpenVPN endpoint in some non-standard way.
