Hi, thanks.
*The interesting question from my (the client) perspective is: (how) did you make it work on the server?* * * It's as simple as having the client certificate to grant (and be required) to access the web server. Afterwards I've to log into owncloud as usual. So this is a two stage login process, which... 1. ...prevents anybody who doesn't have a valid client certificat to even see the login page 2. ...still allows to log into owncloud under different accounts, e.g. an admin and a user account (if you have the certificate) This is perfectly what I like and what works inside a web browser. In fact I wouldn't like the certificate to be linked to an owncloud account as it wouldn't allow me to log in under different accounts any more. I believe that this is a very common scenario that someone wishes to double-protect a private owncloud server. so it would be nice to have client authentication working with the owncloud clients. regards, -- Johannes 2013/10/30 Daniel Molkentin <dan...@owncloud.com> > Hi Johannes, > > Am 30.10.2013 um 17:03 schrieb Dr. Johannes Zellner: > > how do owncloud clients work when apache is configured with ssl client > certificate authentification? > > > Neither the desktop nor the mobile clients support certificate > authentication at this point, see below for details. > > does the windows client work with a client certificate? > > > The Desktop Client (which has the same codebase for all OSes), has > https://github.com/owncloud/mirall/issues/69 filed for that.
