# `bird webhooks client-certificate`

## Usage

```bash
bird webhooks client-certificate
```

## Description

Bird keeps the private key and presents the certificate that your certificate authority
signs from the signing request. In `enforced`, a delivery fails when the receiver does not
ask for the certificate or rejects it.

Reads return JSON. Mutations take flags and/or a --body-file JSON body (flags overriding); run --example to print the body shape or --dry-run to preview the request.
