Hello to all and thanks in advance for any info/tips.

My problem has to do with a secure login form (https).
Let me explaing the situation, because i know not what this proccess is called.

My client has a website with a control panel (https://www.example.com/admin, for example).
As long as this url is visited, a window appears (something like a pop-up), stating that he must select which SSL key to load from his pc. If he chooses a valid key, then the popup vanishes and a typical form (username/password) appears on the browser.
If he chooses an invalid key, then a 404 error page not found appears.
If no key is foun on the pc (if you try to visit that url from another pc for example), a 404 page not foud applies.

Only from his pc he gets to choose the ssl key.

My question is: how do we install an ssl key on another pc and duplicate this proccess (and what's the name of this proccess as well)?
Any info is welcome, as i am in total darkness here

as another approach:

I would like to know how is it possible to enforce security for my admin pages (backend, live site) in order to open only if ssl key is installed on administrator computer (localy).
