Help on configuring SSL client certificate stored in Windows local folder

[mith-emsa]

I tried to follow the instructions on https://github.com/rangav/thunder-client-support#auth and added the path to the PFX file that I have locally stored in a folder using the option mentioned in the instructions

"thunder-client.certificates": [
        {
            "host": "localhost:8081",
            "pfxPath": "C:/Users/terrami/Documents/HP-IMS Related Documents/SSL Certificates/MyCert.pfx",
            "passphrase": "xxxx"
        },
    ]

I also tried another option which was to use

"thunder-client.certificates": [
        {
            "host": "localhost:8081",
            "pfxPath": "C:\\Users\\terrami\\Documents\\HP-IMS Related Documents\\SSL Certificates\\MyCert.pfx",
            "passphrase": "xxxx"
        },
    ]

With both options when I send an HTTP GET request the client certificate is not used by Thunder Client. I also did not see any option to select the certificate. Could also not find any further instructions on this. Is there any restriction on where to place the certificate? My port 8081 on localhost is not available. But I do not understand why that is needed for a file that is stored locally. Should that be removed?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

What I get is the following:

[rangav]

The request url host should match the host in the thunder client certificates setting

so please use hpims.com instead of localhost:8081 as below

"thunder-client.certificates": [
        {
            "host": "hpims.com",
            "pfxPath": "C:/Users/terrami/Documents/HP-IMS Related Documents/SSL Certificates/MyCert.pfx",
            "passphrase": "xxxx"
        },
    ]

Hi @rangav I changed to emsa.europa.eu , because that is the host of my request url. But I still got the error, but now with some useful output in the terminal. See below

Hi @rangav I changed the path to
"C:\\Users\\terrami\\Documents\\HP-IMS Related Documents\\SSL Certificates\\MyCert.pfx"
and put the host to emsa.europa.eu and now it works.
