User Certificate authentication on iOS with Jira & Confluence Mobile for DataCenter / Server apps

[Matthew Nethersell]

Hi,

We're looking to rollout the Jira and Confluence for DataCenter / Server mobile apps via our MDM solution and authenticate against our own IDP which supports user authentication with certificates. 

We have a user certifcate installed on the device and if we log on to our servers via Safari on iOS devices, we are authenticated without needing to provide a username and password. However when we try to repeat this using the mobile apps, the certificate authentication is not triggered and the authentication flow falls back to username/password. 

Do the apps support user authentication with certificates stored in the iOS Keychain? I saw that it's possible to use self-signed https certificates in the apps if the certificate has been imported to iOS and hoped the same would be possible for user certificates.

Best,

Matthew
