HTTPS network link for Google Earth


I'm currently using Google Earth Pro 7.3.0.3830. I'm trying to access our KML feed behind an https link. The web server is using a self-signed cert that has a self-signed user cert associated with it (same CA). On Windows, I have the CA cert in the trusted windows store as well as the user certificate (both show up in chrome and IE). If I use the Google Earth plugin within Chrome, I can create a network link with https and access the feed. If I use the stand alone Google Earth app, I can't access it (red dot on the folder).

If I change the web server to allow http access and change the feed link, it displays fine on the standalone Google Earth app, (but using just http isn't desirable).

I can't figure out how to get Google Earth to use the client certificate to authenticate the https request to the web server. This is an issue for running Google Earth Pro in both Windows 10 and Centos 7.

Thanks in advance.
