macOS - Certificate Based Authentication - App Level or OS Level?

$

Hello,

We're currently working on revamping our macOS design.

 

While working on it came of course the question of proxies and specifically the authentication onto them.  We have several possibilities for that but it comes along to answer to the following question :

Is it the OS on the Mac that deals with the Certificate Based Authentication aspect or is it each installed app individually ?

 

If it is the latter, for apps like Safari, we're pretty confident this will work properly because of Safari knowing how to handle certificates.

Regarding 3rd party apps, (Bluejean, Adobe Suite...), this is not so sure these would be able to exploit the certificates present in the keychain. Hence the question about CBA being handled by macOS itself or by every single app individually.

 

If anyone knows, that'd be good to know.

 

Thanks,

 

Anton
