          What is your question really? Why is such configuration allowed, is that it?

          It depends on the use case, in a trusted environment where you know your VPN users personally the extra user authentication step are just redundant and CA/Cert/privatekey is just fine.

            Having the client validate the server cert wouldn't have to do with trusting the users, it would be for the users to validate they are connecting to the correct server wouldn't it..
