Logging in via a browser using client certificate authentication

This procedure describes the steps to login via your browser to a station configured for client certificate authentication.

Prerequisites:

You are running Workbench installation
You have previously generated a client certificate (your public certificate) and given this *.pem file to the station admin.
The station admin has already configured your user account for ClientCertAuthentication.
You have also previously generated a client certificate with private key (your private certificate) and saved it to your PC file system.
You have already installed your private certificate in the browser’s certificate trust stores.

Perform the following steps:

In the browser, enter the station address and press Enter.
The browser opens a window, prompting you to select a certificate to authenticate yourself to the station.
In the Select a certificate window, click to select your private certificate and click OK.

NOTE: Different browsers will present different dialogs, but all browsers will allow you to select a certificate to identify yourself. For example, the Select a certificate dialog (above) is seen when using Chrome, while the User Identification Request dialog (below) is seen when using Firefox.
In the station Pre-Login window, simply click the Login With ClientCertAuth button.

NOTE: There is no need to enter username/password credentials.

Upon clicking the button, you immediately authenticate to the station.
