For the 3.0 release, the VenueClient does not use certificates. Like with secure webpages (with an https url), the connection is secured by a certificate on the server, and clients are unidentified.
The next release will integrate client-side certificates back in, making it possible but still not necessary to use a certificate in the VenueClient. If you're having a problem in AG3 beta2 with the VenueManagement interface, please describe it in detail in a bug report so we can try to reproduce the problem and track it. At this point, the only value in managing VenueServer authorization is to control who can run VenueManagement.
