User workflow for client certificate authentication

The user generates a new client certificate and exports it with its public key, and again with its encrypted private key.

Afterwards, the user gives the certificate with public key to the station administrator who uses it to set up Client Certificate Authentication on the station.

The user saves the exported certificate with its encrypted private key in a safe location on our PC file system for later login use. The private key is sensitive information and should be kept well protected. As a user, do not store your certificate with its private key somewhere where it might be accessible to others.

In a subsequent procedure, the user installs the certificate with its private key in the web browser.
