What does this mean and why is it popping up? The website "ad.doubleclick.net" requires a client certificate. It happens when I open Safari and it gives me 3 certificates to pick from. Just started today. Thus far I've been hitting cancel.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

I think this is more than a safari issue. I suddenly started getting this as well this afternoon. I get it in Safari and Chrome on my Mac and I also have it happening on my iPhone.
It is not a Safari issue and no one here said it was. It is a web site and adware issue.
This issue appeared just randomly today for me too. Makes me think it could possibly be some external factor besides the ones discussed here. I tried mr ginger and BobTheFisherman's suggestions and still have the same problem. I get the pop up every time I visit Youtube and it randomly shows up when I'm on Facebook as well.
Mr. Doodle, I've tried all that was stated here and I still get it popping up. I have nothing at all in my extensions folder. Even though it's annoying I just keep clicking CANCEL. Seems like I only have to do it once when I first start Safari then it stops. Hopefully, Apple will find a fix for it.
I just started getting the "The website "ad.doubleclick.net" requires a client certificate" message tonight at Amazon.com. Not too long beforehand, I setup 2-factor authentication with google. Not sure if the events are related.
This started happening to me too about an hour ago. I did what was suggested in the comments. I force quit Safari, opened it while pressing shift, tried to delete today's history, it didn't let me, I tried all over again and it finally seems to have stopped. All I was doing online was visiting YouTube, Facebook, and Pinterest which led me to another page which I thought was the culprit but it may not have been since it was wordpress.
Update: Nevermind, it started again.
I did everything everyone said to do yesterday and it didn't work but today for some reason it has all stopped and I'm not getting that pop up anymore. YEAH!! Thanks again to those of you who gave advice and remedies!! Keeping fingers crossed that the problem has been resolved. 🙂
Hi BobTheFisherman, I did as you suggested and it happened once more but seems to have stopped for now. We will see. Any idea why that just started happening? Thank you for your response.
OK, thanks so much for the explanation and help.
Octane, I don't believe they are related. I just started getting the pop up today and had done nothing different then my usual online activities.
The origin is from google but it seems to have got out of hand. You can try the suggestions given and keep clicking out of it.
Same problem running a virus scan
getting the same thing during face booking, and it is very annoying.
Thanks for helping! I had to do it a few times but it got rid of the problem.
I spoke to soon, the problem is still happening.
The website "ad.doubleclick.net" requires a client certificate when I open Safari. What does this mean? It gives me 3 certificates to choose from.
