Is there any event so that I can capture any client certificate missing or error?

I am not sure if I understand your question. What kind of client certificate error are you talking about? And what do you mean by client certificate missing? When a client certificate is needed, your code is responsible to provide it. Isn't it considered "missing" if you just don't provide it?

Ok, sorry if I do not understand the exact workings of HTTP protocol. But I was just assuming that if no or wrong certificate was presented it would generate an error. So I was just asking about if there was such an event reacting on that. But as I understand there is no such event - only the Certificate request event.

Hi,
Such error could be generated by your web server on the server side, not by the browser on the client side. The basic flow is the server asks for a certificate, and the client can decide to provide or not to provide one. The server then decide whether this is acceptable. It can refuse the request if client doesn't provide a certificate at all, or only refuse if client provides an invalid certificate (for example, a self signed certificate that the server can't trust), or it can ignore the issue all together. However it is it is up to the server, not the client.
Thanks!
