        <listitem><para>Set the private key and certificate to use. The <option>--certificate=</option>
        option takes a path to a PEM encoded X.509 certificate or a URI that's passed to the OpenSSL provider
        configured with <option>--certificate-source</option>. The <option>--certificate-source</option>
        takes one of <literal>file</literal> or <literal>provider</literal>, with the latter being followed
        by a specific provider identifier, separated with a colon, e.g. <literal>provider:pkcs11</literal>.
        The <option>--private-key=</option> option can take a path or a URI that will be passed to the
        OpenSSL engine or provider, as specified by <option>--private-key-source=</option> as a
        <literal>type:name</literal> tuple, such as <literal>engine:pkcs11</literal>.</para>
