Auth_pam will require audit writes or the connection will be rejected as the plugin fails to initialize like: openvpn[1111]: sudo: unable to send audit message openvpn[1111]: sudo: pam_open_session: System error openvpn[1111]: sudo: policy plugin failed session initialization
See links from https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/918 for more. auth_pam is a common use case and capabilties for it should be allowed by the .service file.
