Client certificate authentication over HTTP (without HTTPS)

Can client certificates be used for authentication without HTTPS, only over HTTP on Windows IIS platform with ASP.NET ?

I need to authenticate a client using a digital certificate and i can't use HTTPS.

Solution

  • No you can't, at least if the client is a web-browser. Moreover, it doesn't have any sense.
