Provides a certificate for SSL client authentication on NSS sockets.
GUI is still missing, so certificates and private keys have to be stored manually, p.e.: $ pk12util -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -i PKCS12_file.p12 Adds --auto-ssl-client-auth command-line option to enable this feature. Patch contributed by Jaime Soriano <jsorianopastor@gmail.com>. Original review URL: http://codereview.chromium.org/220009 R=wtc BUG=16830 TEST=Try to connect to a web page that requires SSL authentication and confirm that it connects if and only if a valid certificate is stored in the ~/.pki/nssdb database.
