**Moved from GitHub [ratel/31](https://github.com/dgraph-io/ratel/issues/31)**

_Posted by_ [danielmai](https://github.com/danielmai):

Some users running TLS-enabled clusters with client-auth want to still be able to connect to the cluster with Ratel.

Ratel currently supports server-auth, but not client-auth.
