Many users in this thread indicated that their VPN does not require
certificates. However it is possible that your VPN *does* require
certificates but that these are provided within your imported OpenVPN
(.ovpn) file. This was the case for me, however when I imported the
.ovpn file, these certificates were not propagated.

So I highly recommend looking at your .ovpn file in a text editor. If
you find <ca>, <cert> and/or <key> sections, here is a workaround:

1. Copy and paste the text between the <ca> and </ca> into a file ending with 
.crt.
2. Copy and paste the text between the <cert> and </cert> into a file ending 
with .crt.
3. Copy and paste the text between the <key> and </key> into a file ending with 
.crt.
4. Import your VPN settings in nm-connection-editor.
5. Select Certificates or Password with Certificates for Authentication Type 
(as your case may be).
6. Load the 3 files from steps 1 through 3 into their corresponding boxes.

The Save... box should now be enabled.
