Thanks for reply.
I've already figure it out.  The configuration file in ccd/ directory on
a server is linked to a key generated for the client during setup on
server:
./easyrsa build-client-full syscon7 nopass   (this is client key pair)

So the file in ccd/ (on server) has to be called "syscon7" and the
client computer will take IP from this file (that you assign).
