make aware


Explanation:
To make the client aware of the certificate.

If they need to access the certificate, rather than just be aware of its existence, then maybe "to make the certificate available to the client".

neutral  Brie Vernier: The 'client' here has nothing to do with humans, and I don't think I would make a software environment "aware " of something

  -> You are right about the ´client´ being non-human, of course, but "aware" is often used in networking speak so far as I know. An example: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/vpn... Google on "client aware" too.
agree  David Willett: The best suggestion IMO. It is perfectly normal to talk of software environments being aware of something.

register


Explanation:
The expression "register a certificate" is widely used for this sort of procedure. I think "register the certificate with the client" is just what is meant here. See the reference for an example.
