How to: Request a Client Certificate

A client certificate is a digital certificate used to authenticate a client to a server in a secure way. It's like a virtual ID card for your computer or device. When you connect to a secure service or network, the server can ask for this certificate to verify your identity. The certificate contains information about you and your public key, which the service uses to establish a secure connection and esnure that you're who you clain to be. This helps protect against unauthorised access and esnures that the communcaition between you and your server is encrypted and secure.
