Client Authentication

By default, the SA7100/SA7120 does not authenticate client
identities, however specific map IDs can be configured to request
client certificates for the purpose of verifying identities. When this
feature is enabled, the SA7100/SA7120 verifies that client
certificates are signed by a known CA. This feature is controlled by
the import client_ca command.

Example:

First, use the list map command to display the current map IDs and
their configurations including, in the last column, Client
Authentication, enabled (y) or disabled (n).

Next, import the client CA certificate for Map ID 2.
