Rest Data Source + Client Certificate

How does Skuid use/store a Client Certificate to authenticate into a REST endpoint when Apex is used as proxy?

When creating a new data source developer can provide a name of a Client Certificate. I have noticed that the Client Cert doesn’t have to be populated under Skuid → Data Source → Data Service tab. Also, Client Cert doesn’t have to be populated under Set up → Certificate and Key Management → API Client Certificate.

Therefore,

  • Does Skuid not use Salesforce’s process to attach a certificate to a request?
  • How does Skuid use the certificate and attach it to a request when Apex is used as a proxy?
  • Does Skuid copy or store the certificate outside of Certificate and Key Management?

Best,
