The connection is done through public and private keys, with authorised key file(public key) on the users home directory on the server. I want to switch to signed certificates, will x2go support this?

x2go supports using an ssh-agent. If signed certificates are supported
by the agent it might work but AFAIK ssh-agent does not offer that
functionality.

Apart from that: you are doing big efforts to secure the access to
your site but at the same time you are running an old, unpatched
operating system? CentOS6 is at 6.10 currently!  (Security updates are
only offered for the latest minor version within a major version, see
https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-dcca41e9a3d5ac4c6d900a991990fd11930867d6)
