    //  (i.e. sets the client-side certificate for two-way TLS authentication)
    //  Note: There are other ways to set the client certificate using Chilkat.

    //  pre-installed (with private key) in a Windows certificate store, and then socket.SetSslClientCert could be called.

    //  must have the associated private key available. (.pfx/.p12 files typically store both
    //  the certificate and associated private key.)
