Distribution Point Certificate-based Authentication

According to the Jamf Pro 10.6.0 guide Certificate-based authentication is supposed to be an option for HTTPS file share distribution points. Yet,ff87a82c6b7e44898843487631bc83ba I am unable to find documentation on how to get this to work and was told by support that "username and password" is my only option and that I should create a feature request... for something that's already listed as a feature.

Does anyone have this working or have any idea where I might be able find some documentation?

If you haven't taken the Jamf 250 course, you should. Part of setting up the Jamf Pro servers includes adding web certificates which translates (though not directly) to setting up an apache server for a distribution point and securing it with SSL.

Gives a bit of a brief view on how to set it up on a linux server. With certificate based authentication and connection to the JPS, you don't need user/pass authentication.
