Client certificate for Outbound messaging.

Hi,
 
There is a client certificate provided by Salesforce.com for Outbound messaging. Is this certificate unique for every Org or generic in nature.
 
How do we perform Authentication for Salesforce.com outbound messaging in case the client certificate is generic.
 
Any help on this is appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance

-It's generic.

I would concider sending login credentials. It's not secure as using client certificate but it's something.

Hi,
 
Thanks for the response. How can we customize the outbound messaging to send the login credentials.
 
thanks

Well actually what I had in my mind is sending a soap message using Apex code and not outbound messaging. If you use apex code you simply add some login credentials to the message.

If you use outbound messaging you're pretty much restricted to just sending object fields. A (nasty) work arround to this may be adding a custom "password" field to the object and sending it along the message.

Hi,

Using apex will lose the benefit of retries available with the Outbound notification.
