Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Paste the certificate into the custom CSS styling box under Global Settings.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Custom CSS styling is for UI appearance, not cryptographic certificate storage.
- ✓
Upload the client certificate within the integration instance or certificate store settings for the webhook.
Why this is correct
Correct. mTLS client certificates for integrations are managed within the integration or certificate settings.
- ✗
Store the certificate in the Broker VM local `/etc/passwd` file.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The `/etc/passwd` file stores user account information, not TLS client certificates.

Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Browser certificates authenticate the user to the UI, not XSIAM backend webhooks to external servers.
