Mutual TLS (client certificate)

The mutual TLS connection stores a PEM client certificate chain and its private key, the API's HTTPS base URL, and optionally a CA bundle for servers with a private trust chain. HTTP steps present the certificate on every request.

For plans and availability, see the Mutual TLS (client certificate) integration.

Common use cases

  1. Reach an enterprise API gateway that requires client certificates.
  2. Connect to a partner system on a private certificate authority.
  3. Add certificate authentication on top of an API key.
