Read more about managing SSL certificates in the native apps, or troubleshooting self-signed SSL certificates in the Postman app. We can use our existing key to generate CA certificate, here ca.cert.pem is the CA certificate file: openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.cert.pem. In the console, inspect the certificate that was sent along with the request. Breaking down the command: openssl the command for executing OpenSSL pkcs12 the file utility for PKCS12 files in OpenSSL-export -out certificate.pfx export and save the PFX.
Make sure you’re using https so the client certificate is sent along with the request. OpenSSL is a versatile command line tool that can be used for a large variety of tasks related to Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and HTTPS (HTTP over TLS). Once you add a new client certificate, open up the Postman console and send a request to the configured domain. This means that for all HTTPS requests sent to this configured domain, the certificate will be sent along with the request.
When you add a client certificate to the Postman app, you associate a domain with the certificate. If you’re using HTTPS in production, this allows your testing and development environments to mirror your production environment as closely as possible. Using the Postman native apps, you can view and set SSL certificates on a per domain basis. If a server requires this type of client authentication, the client is required to send the associated SSL certificate along with any requests. If you’re submitting sensitive data such as passwords or payment information, these certificates are often used in testing and development environments to provide a layer of security for an API. These certificates provide secure, encrypted communications between a client and a server. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates are a way of authentication for some servers using the SSL encryption protocol.
