The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/auth-cert.html
Description:
Hello.
This page missed information about supported clientname=CN/DN option and
describes only `map` option.
Also `clientcert` is described not in format. I expect it was documented
under `map` as next list item of supported options.
Thank you.

The description for pg_hba.conf auth-options covers this. Since those two
options do not only apply to cert but any hostssl entry it was chosen to
document the ssl related options on the pg_hba.conf page. I do see value
in pointing the reader back to that location from the cert page though. Or
maybe move the wording to the cert page and replace the content in
pg_hba.conf with a link to there. Leaning toward the later ATM.

That sounds like the best option IMHO, care to propose a patch?

Done here:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAKFQuwa%3DiY13UkH2K4-Srut9iaXBi2FkLzWRxbok%2BmdSMPEDuA%40mail...
The material here needed some attention too, both on its own and to fit in
with the changes to the client authentication section.
