Thank you, Bernard. In bringing myself up to speed on this, once I stumbled across the phrase "two-way SSL" I was able to find much good reading about it.

I just added Comment #11 to the bug report on this:

    The range of services requiring two-way SSL is increasing,
    and with IoT the scope of use cases is multiplying.

    Where required, I don't see an opportunity for a scripted
    workaround, so in those cases the only alternative is to
    leave LC for a tool that supports two-way SSL.

    This would seem a good time to bite the bullet on this
    implementation. What would be required to make it happen?
