On this page, you can specify the source location for client certificates and verification method for server certificates. Let us review these parameter groups in detail:
- Select client certificate. Selects the location of the client certificate:
- Do not provide certificate. Connection can be established only to web servers that do not require a client certificate.
- Certificate file. Allows you to select a file with client certificate and its private key. If the file is password-protected, the user will be prompted to enter the password when connecting.

- Select certificate automatically. Suitable certificate is selected and used automatically. The certificate selection dialog box is not displayed.
