I read that OpenVPN can operate in TLS mode, but I have no idea how  
this is configured.

In the certificate (set by the CA).

This essentially describes how to set up your own CA with some  
command line tools and scripts. Either you do this or you use  
OpenXPKI. Both at once does not make much sense...

Sure, that's what OpenXPKI is for :)
