Support for additional Robot authentication when connecting to the Orchestrator on Windows and Linux is performed through the "Thumbprint of the X.509 certificate for connecting to the orchestrator (if necessary)" parameter.

The certificate is extracted from the system store (Windows) or from the certificate file (Linux) by the unique thumbprint, after which it is used in requests to the Orchestrator.
