I doubt there's any existing code to handle certificates, but you might
be able to hook in somewhere to load certificates from the keychain.

Keep in mind I'm not the author of the keyring code, I just poked it

There was not, and from my investigating with the Windows keyring/Vault
API in the past, I seem to recall that it could only be used for this
sort of thing in certain editions of Windows, while "lower" editions
could only store passwords for network file shares.
