Ah, I see now. When you wrote "clientcert=1" above, that made me realise
that I was making a mistake. I was using "clientcert" in the
authentication method column, and you can't use it there because it's an
"option" to "any other auth method" and not a auth method on its own.

I did read the doc and this was not clear to me at first, so perhaps it
could be made clearer?

Thanks for your help,
Khusro
