I've seen that Gluu server provides certificate based authentication as mentioned [here](https://github.com/GluuFederation/oxAuth/tree/master/Server/integrations/cert). As Gluu server is an identity provider, how does it provide these certificates in the first place to authenticate? Does it run a chain of CA servers that generate a X.509 certficate for enrolling a client? If yes, is there any example?
