it is tricky to setup the SSL connection in irc.cacert.org but it is
still working fine (auto-connect) for ages.

when I log in, I get :

(06:57:32) irc.cacert.org: (notice) *** Connected securely via TLSv1
RC4-SHA-128

(06:57:32) NickServ: (notice) You are connected using SSL and have
provided a matching client certificate
(06:57:32) NickServ: (notice) for nickname *G********. You have been
automatically identified.



*/msg NickServ HELP

once registered in IRC :*
*
*/msg NickServ CERT*

*(07:11:00) NickServ: (notice) *** CERT Help ***
(07:11:00) NickServ: (notice) Usage: *CERT ADD fingerprint*
(07:11:00) NickServ: (notice) *CERT DEL (fingerprint|number)*
(07:11:00) NickServ: (notice) *CERT LIST*
(07:11:00) NickServ: (notice)
(07:11:00) NickServ: (notice) Maintains the nickname client certificate
list. If you connect to IRC with
(07:11:00) NickServ: (notice) SSL, and provide the client certificate
with a fingerprint on your
(07:11:00) NickServ: (notice) certificate list you will be automatically
identified to your nickname
(07:11:00) NickServ: (notice) without having to use the IDENTIFY command.
(07:11:00) NickServ: (notice)

Best regards,

Guillaume
