Hello,

Can "Client Certificates" be used for Webdev module authentication or for system.net.httpClient request authentication

Thank you.

Neither scenario is supported in a first class way.

The outbound HTTP calls are possible if you go straight to Java APIs instead. There's an example in [this post](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ssl-cert-auto-renew-module/83433) where someone else got it working. This isn't something we document anywhere.

Thanks Kevin, do you know any native way (or third party module) for implementing a different from Basic authentication method for HTTP inbound or outbound requests?
