• SSL: Authentication is made using certificates only (no
user/pass authentication).
• User Auth: Authentication is made using only CA, user and
password, no certificates. Useful if the clients should not
have individual certificates.
• SSL + User Auth: Requires both certificate and username /
password. Each user has a unique client configuration that
includes their personal certificate and key.

This feature adds extra protection to the TLS channel by requiring
that incoming packets have a valid signature generated using the
PSK key.
