We would like to use HTTPS with the build in IE on the our Wince.net 4.2
product. Works fine.

But to make it more secure it would be great to use client certificates on
our hardware for authentication.

On a PC you can import client certificates in the browser from a .p12 file

We have found that there is something in the control panel. But this looks
like the configuration for the internal

web server and not the client. Is there anything you can put in the
registry? Or is there something you

can select when generation the wince image?

Regards
