    Description

      This page contains information that is not clear and contradictuous. It is specifically about the 'extendedKeyUsage' attribute:

      If the certificate includes the Extended Key Usage (extendedKeyUsage) setting, the value must include clientAuth (“TLS Web Client Authentication”).
      extendedKeyUsage = clientAuth
      You can also use a certificate that does not include the Extended Key Usage (EKU).

      In the next paragraph it states:
      Omit extendedKeyUsage or
      Specify extendedKeyUsage values that include clientAuth in addition to serverAuth.

      The second statement is VALID (include clientAuth and serverAuth). The first statement is INVALID (include only clientAuth).
