Example 2: Changing API connector to use client certificate authentication

This will overwrite any previous authenticationConfiguration settings. To change from Basic authentication to certificate authentication, use this. To add additional certificates to list of certificates, use the Upload client certificate method. When using this method, consequent "Get" or "List" operations of API connectors, authenticationConfiguration will be of type microsoft.graph.clientCertificateAuthentication.
