Hello Everyone,

I have issued a certificate to a Service Account's certificate store.
Does anyone know how to turn on certificate authentication for service
accounts? Is it a registry change or local security setting or
something else?

thanks,

Terence

There is no such thing as a general certificate authentication for
service accounts. Either the service supports certificate authentication
or it does not. How you configure it, if supported, will vary from
application to application.
