      Description

      User Story

      I want to use mutual TLS authentication, i.e., two-way SSL, where the client must present its own certificate and private key (see curl --cert and --key parameters).

      Scope

      Read the requests documentation about client-side certificates.

      Important note: The private key to the local certificate must be unencrypted.

      Actions:

      • Add the --cert and --key CLI arguments.
      • Add corresponding cert_file and cert_key_file options.
      • Add corresponding documentation.
      • Add the logic to use those files instead of any other options (like ca_bundle or ssl_no_verify).
      • Maybe more tricky but it would be very nice to have a test.
      • When the patch will be merged, backport the documentation part to the Nuxeo documentation website.
