Installing client reference certificates
Client reference certificates are necessary to authenticate the Client to the Server during the initial SSL negotiation. When the Client Certificate is presented during the SSL negotiation, the Server verifies the authenticity of the Certificate against the Trusted Root Certificate installed on the server, then matches the presented Client Certificate to the Client Reference Certificate. If the Certificates match and the Client Certificate is not expired, the user is granted access.
