I'm not sure what you mean by this question. You mean you want to handle
authentication via SSL certs, i.e. the client must present a cert, similar
to www? I know for adding server certificates to Outlook (i.e. I use self
signed certs and don't want constant warnings) I use IE to manage the
certificate store (i.e. point MSIE at http://foo:993/ and then install the
cert). I can only assume client side certificate management for Outlook is
also handled via MSIE, tools - internet options - content - certificates,
from there you can install perasonal certificates/etc, not sure is Outlook
will handle them correctly though (never tried).
