Question regarding certificate mapping

Forgive me if this question is something I already know, but I think
there's a mismatch between my expectations and reality. Wouldn't be
the first time *that* happened, of course.

I've successfully got certificate server set up, and I've got account
mapping going. But when a user with a certificate accesses a vdir so
configured, they are getting prompted for credentials. That's not
what I expected: I was thinking that the certificate would be all
they would need.

So I'm looking for confirmation: even if the certificate mapping is
working correctly, should the users be prompted to login? If that's
the case, its it safe to say that the having the certificate
requirement is essentially just a third credentially requirement?

If so, fine -- so be it. If not, what should my next troubleshooting
step be?

I'm happy to RTFM if somebody can point me to a good M to F'n R. :)

Thanks!
