Not prompted for certificate authentication using web browser session, embedded, with chrome.

I am no longer prompted to select a certificate when accessing an internal company webpage through RDM chrome.
This problem was noticed after upgrading from 12.0.8.0 -> 13.0.6.0


My configuration is such:
Windows 8.1, Chrome 63.0.3239.84, RDM 13.0.6.0 x64

Connection settings:
Display: Embedded (Tabbed)
General:
Web Browser Application: Chrome
Show Favicon: Checked
Private session (Incognito): Checked
Ignore certificate errors: Unchecked
Show Url: Checked
Ignore certificate authentication: Unchecked
Browser Extension: Not installed
This worked immediately before I updated to the new RDM version, and it stopped working Immediately after upgrading.

It appears that there was a feature request to add the option to ignore the certificate prompt here: https://forum.devolutions.net/topic27974-option-to-ignore-website-certificate-requests-for-authentication.aspx perhaps incorporating this new behavior actually broke the ability to display the certificate prompts?

"Display: External" does work, and I know that the website has not been changed, I really need this functionality to work in an embedded session as it did before (albeit, as clunky as the original dialog was with having to choose the certificate file.. etc., at least it did function)

Hello,

I checked and adding this indeed did break the certificate authentication prompt. I made a fix and it will be available in the next RDM build (13.0.8.0). Thank you for reporting the issue :)
