ODS is a full-featured WebID server and supports authentication via WebID in all situations. Clients can easily create new WebID certificates via this method.WebID authentication means that the client sends an X.509 certificate with an embedded profile URL denoting the authenticating person. That URL resolves to an RDF profile document containing the public key from the certificate.The simplest way to create a new WebID-enabled X.509 certificate is for the client to use the keygen HTML tag to create a new RSA key pair. The public key will be sent to this method. ODS will then prepare the certifcate and return it to the client with mimetype application/x-x509-user-cert. The browser will install that certifcate in its key ring. It can then be used in suqsequent authentication actions with ODS or any other WebID enabled system.Example: The minimal HTML code to create a new client certificate looks like the following: {.html}
