That's what the SSL_Init_Application API is for.  It lets you initialize an
SSL session using a certificate associated with an application identifier.
You can use the Register Application for Certificate Use API to create an
application name, and then use DCM to associate a certificate with that
application name.

IIRC, SSL_Init_Application was new with 440.  Of course, I believe the
GSKit is intended to replace the SSL stuff anyway so you should consider
migrating to that, but if you are on 440, or need to support it, then
SSL_Init_Application will do the trick.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
