Currently we have an environment, where we have pre-installed fully trusted certificates which are installed using a profile manager on the device.
We want to use the certificate for authentication. Basically we want to use Azure AD certificate based authentication for our custom ios application which uses the preinstalled certificates.

Currently when we open the webpage url, where we are using CBA in safari, it prompts to select the certificate and after selecting the certificate the user is successfully authenticated.

But if we open the same webpage URL in ios chrome or inside our native application(we are using WKWebView) no prompt dialog appears and we are unable to select the certificate and authenticate the user.

iOS apps do not have access to security credentials installed via a configuration profile (per QA1745 Making Certificates and Keys Available To Your App). See some suggestions on how to proceed, see this post.

@eskimo thanks for the reply. As I mentioned in the question above we are using WKWebview to incorporate web content, incase we start using sfsafariviewcontroller. Then will it allow the app to use the certificates installed via configuration profile.
