Hi Bill,
You can still use NSAPI with the plugin server; you would then customize the ndconfig.nd file and add the CLIENT_CERT variable. The settings I used are "CLIENT_CERT, user_dn, client" for the NSAPI section and "CLIENT_CERT, CLIENT_CERT" for the CGI section.
Instructions for using the plugin server are in your ND installation directory under /plugin/ServerPlugin.html.

Thanks Lauren.
We are using NSAPI and not the Plugin Server. I was hoping that the
CLIENT_CERT environment variables would be available to my project, but
the ND documentation seemed to indicate that that only certain
environment variables were available to ND.

To do this, is there a configuration file that has to be modified?
