To secure outgoing requests from Fluid Topics, it is possible to import or create a client certificate.
It is useful in two situations:
- Importing or creating a client certificate enables mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication between the Fluid Topics portal and the server when making HTTP requests in profile mappers.
- Using an imported certificate from the identity provider increases security when configuring a SAML 2.0 realm.
Configuring client certificates is optional.
