I have a similar issue using the Edge Client software. When the user logs in the the certificate is requested twice.

 

Do you have client certificate request/require enabled in the client SSL profile, the APM On-Demand Cert Auth agent, or both?

 

Is their anyway to prefix the software to always use the relevant certificate ?

 

No, there's no way to tell the client which certificate to use. You can suggest which certificate to use, if there are multiple that can be used, by sending a CA "root hint" in the SSL handshake (apply a filtered CA bundle in the Advertised CA list of the client SSL profile).
