You can use the Mutual TLS Origin Keystore API to create, manage, and activate client certificates needed to set up mutual authentication (mTLS) sessions between the origin and ​Akamai​ edge servers.

Client certificates are similar to the class of certificates used for server authentication. But in comparison, their characteristics are considerably different. For example, server certificates created and managed in Certificate Provisioning System (CPS), Mutual TLS Edge Truststore, or the Default DV certificates in Property Manager are often subject to browser validation rules, which in most cases don’t apply to client certificates.
