SSL VPN remote access - secure?

andy.l
Hi 
One question, I plan to set up the SSL VPN remote access by using this guide
https://support.astaro.com/support/index.php/ASG-V7_guide_remote-access_ssl_en
If I use this, is this a configuration where Certificates are being used to login or is this only username/password. I fint this a but unclear in the doc. I see that the client downloads a certificate. Is this certicate used to identify the client?

    As I understand it, the SSL VPN remote feature uses both client certificates and username/password for security:

    The SSL remote access feature in Astaro Security Gateway provides security by a double authentication using X.509 certificates and username/password.

    So, if a should has installed the SSL client from the OpenVPN project page, I will NOT be able to login or brute force his way in even though he could guess the correct user name and password combination since he does not have the correct certificate installed?
