Client Certificates
TLS/SSL certificates used for client authentication. Used by various modules and drivers when connecting to and accepting connections from external devices and services. Each client certificate must be paired by its corresponding private key. Ensure that the certificate is valid (not expired) and issued by a Certificate Authority trusted by remote side of TLS/SSL connections. The alias provides a user-friendly name to reference the certificate from throughout the platform.
