Thanks Lonnie. I suspect that this is not the problem but I cant understand why I need to restart the server before it works.

But you need to understand if you really need "multiple clients using the same certificate or username to concurrently connect". Is there a OpenVPN client you forgot about ? Are any sharing a username ? I can generate the "duplicate-cn" log myself by connecting, disconnect and re-connecting using the same client. But it all works, no issues.
