title: Client Certificate Authentication with Spring Boot
body: <p>I need to import a certificate in order to make a http request to an external service in a Spring Boot application.</p>
  
  <p>How do I set up Spring Boot in order to do this?</p>
  
  <p>There's a lot of information out there but I'm finding it all a bit confusing.  It seems as though I may just need to create something like a "truststore.jks" keystore and import the correct certificate, and and add some entries to my application.properties.</p>
