Smartcard authentication
What does this MR do?
This adds support for smartcard authentication with basic X.509 certificates. NGINX needs to be setup in a way to run the same server context on separate port requesting the client side certificate. Another limitation is that the email address must be a part of the Common-Name attribute.
