+Long: ssl-auto-client-cert
+Help: Use auto client certificate (Schannel)
+Added: 7.77.0
+See-also: proxy-ssl-auto-client-cert
+Category: tls
+---
+Tell libcurl to automatically locate and use a client certificate for
+authentication, when requested by the server. This option is only supported
+for Schannel (the native Windows SSL library). Prior to 7.77.0 this was the
+default behavior in libcurl with Schannel. Since the server can request any
+certificate that supports client authentication in the OS certificate store it
+could be a privacy violation and unexpected.
