Using smart card / CAC certificate with ReadyAPI

Question

As of this morning, I am trying to figure out if its possible to use a CAC/Smart card certificate device with ReadyAPI. The intent would be to sign via WSS-Configuration any outgoing SOAP requests. Current work flow is we utilize a .p12 file for a test user, and set that up in WSS-Config with all of the necessary parts and set it to the endpoints we are testing.
&nbsp;
I am not sure how to achieve that same level of testing with a Smart Card. Any/all insight would be much appreciated!

Updating with some more information. I did open a support case for this, to try to figure out if it is indeed possible. It looks like currently it is not, but a feature request is going to be added, so it might be down the road!

groovyguy,
if the SmartCard integrates with the Windows certificate store, i.e. publishes the certificate there (temporarily), you could use the Windows store configuration as described in:
https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/requests/auth/ssl.html.

KarelHusa I was aware of that functionality to sign client requests, but as far as I can tell that does not serve the same functionality as setting up WS-Security as seen here. That is what I was being asked to figure out if it works or not. Thank you, though!
