Description
Implement client certificates
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am securing my web applications with Cloudflare access. I did all the proxing through manual configuration of a nginx server.
But because I am running more and more applications, I wanted to have a nice GUI like this from npm.
As long npm does not support client certificates, I can not protect my website from unwanted access.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like a feature to upload an SSL Cert without a key. Which is currently not possible. And then use it inside a proxy host, to verify the clients certificate.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing proxy-host certificate upload flow and the nginx configuration generation paths. Check how certificates are stored and selected for a proxy host, then verify that done means uploading a client certificate without a key and using it to verify client certificates in the generated nginx configuration.
