How to install a client certificate on an iPad without converting it to a .p12 file

I want to introduce client certificate authentication for communication between the iPad and the server.

Since it is not possible to install a client certificate on the iPad using a p12 file, I am considering another method. I would like to know how to install the client certificate and private key issued by the certificate authority on the iPad without converting it to a p12 file.

What are the different ways to do this?

Is your app targeting a managed environment? Or is it targeting normal users via the App Store?

Thank you for your reply.

I think it probably corresponds to what you call a managed environment.

We create web applications built on cloud infrastructure. I want to restrict access so that only devices with client certifications installed can access the web application over the internet.

@DTS Engineer I have answered the above. Please check it.

Is your web app running inside Safari? Or inside a web view being hosted within an App Store app?

@DTS Engineer Thank you for your reply. We plan to use Safari or Google Chrome.
