11Tell libcurl to automatically locate and use a client certificate for
12authentication, when requested by the server. This option is only supported
13for Schannel (the native Windows SSL library). Prior to 7.77.0 this was the
14default behavior in libcurl with Schannel. Since the server can request any
15certificate that supports client authentication in the OS certificate store it
16could be a privacy violation and unexpected.
