Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
I have trouble to implement a client certificate authentication with a WKWebView.

I implemented the  method webView(_:didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:completionHandler:) from WKNavigationDelegate of my WKWebView to load the certificate for the NSURLAuthenticationMethodClientCertificate authentication method, however I always get the error : Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1206 "The server “xxxxx.mysite.com” requires a client certificate."

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Implement webView(_:didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:completionHandler:)  of my WKWebView navigationDelegate 
2. Make a call to the completionHandler for the NSURLAuthenticationMethodClientCertificate authentication with the parameters 
    - UseCredential
    - a NSURLCredential object initialized with the PKCS12 client certificate file.

Expected Results:
The WKWebView should load the html data of the URL https://xxxxx.mysite.com


Actual Results:
Nothing is loaded, a popup appears with the message : "The server “xxxxx.mysite.com” requires a client certificate.

In XCode console I get the error : Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1206 "The server “xxxxx.mysite.com” requires a client certificate."
