Custom certificate selection dialog

[sam007]

With this fix and this issue resolved, will .NET wrappers for CEF like CefSharp, have to write some code to make use of this feature or will the custom dialog for certificate selection popup automatically once CefSharp is updated with the latest branch?

The referenced commit/issue added the OnSelectClientCertificate callback, see its doc comments. There is no default GUI for certificate selection.

So by hooking into OnSelectClientCertificate, I can create my own GUI on CefSharp side, right? Will this provide me with the list of client certificate, to enlist in the GUI?

Any update on this? If I try to build CEF branch 2840, which has this fix, how can I test it? If there is no GUI, I would not be able to see if it works for a portal that needs certificate selection?

I guess what I was thinking of was to build CEF branch and open cefclient.exe and open the portal url that would require a certificate selection. Is there another way to verify this?

Just look at the source code, it should be YES to both of your questions.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am in the process of building 2840 and will then try cefclient.exe to verify.

So I built the branch 2840 for x86 and when I entered the url in cefclient.exe which should prompt me for certificate selection, it simply made use of the first certificate and signed me in.

Looking at the code, is this supposed to ask the user for certificate selection?

You must implement the OnSelectClientCertificate callback to select the certificate programmatically. This allows you to implement custom GUI for certificate selection.

Someone has started implementing this feature (long way from complete) see https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/pull/1878

You should get involved, half the workload.
