Client certificate configuration

There are several ways in which a client certificate can be configured by an IT department. The client
certificate and private key can both be incorporated into one file or split into two separate files. In
addition, the file format used by these files could be PEM, DER, or PKCS12. These formats are
described later in this section. The following table describes how to fill in the fields for each possible
case.

PKCS12 files are frequently generated by Microsoft certificate applications.
Otherwise, PEM is more common.
Certificate files frequently use 5 file extensions. It can be confusing because there is not a one to one
correspondence. The following table shows the possible file extension used for each certificate type:
