How to test client certificate authentication in Postman?
Go to Settings > Certificates and add the correct client certificate file (PEM for CA certificates, CRT, KEY, or PFX for self-signed certificates). You can check for certificate data being used from the Network response pop-up or the console as explained here.
How do I import a client certificate?
Chrome: Importing Your Client Certificate
In Chrome, go to Settings. On the Settings page, below Default browser, click Show advanced settings. Under HTTPS/SSL, click Manage certificates. In the Certificates window, on the Personal tab, click Import.
How do I activate my client certificate?
On the taskbar, click Start, and then click Control Panel. In Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then click Turn Windows Features on or off. Expand Internet Information Services, then select Client Certificate Mapping Authentication, and then click OK.
How do client side certificates work?
A client side certificate is a certificate you use to establish your server to the client. This is the best way for the server to "know" exactly who is connecting to it. It works a lot like having a username and a password on your server but without having to interact with the user.
How does a certificate auth work?
Certificate-based authentication uses the information within said document to verify the user, device or machine, in contrast to the classic username and password combination which is strictly limited to verifying only those who are in possession, i.e. potentially not just the user who should have access.
