Hi Colleague,

I have performed the following steps at my command prompt and convert the crt to pem format for viewing. However, the URL in the CA Issuer and Distribution Points do not have https secure connection. Please advise on how to Authentify those certifications downloaded from Microsoft on our end, in case they were replaced during the transfer.

cmd commands

==============

openssl x509 -in "c:\windows uefi ca 2023.cer" -inform DER -out "C:\windows uefi ca 2023.pem" -outform PEM (conversion from cer to pem)

openssl x509 -in "c:\Users\user\Downloads\windows uefi ca 2023.pem" -text (reading pem)

PEM file

    Hello Kim Chong Jonathan Er,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    Please try to check:

    1. Verify the Certificate Chain:

    Ensure that the certificate chain is intact and valid. This includes checking the root CA, intermediate CAs, and the end-entity certificate.

    You could use openssl tool.

               openssl verify -CAfile path/to/ca-bundle.crt path/to/certificate.crt
    1. Check the Certificate Fingerprint: 
             Compare the certificate fingerprint (SHA-256 hash) with the one provided by Microsoft. This ensures that the certificate has not been altered.

        openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint -sha256 -inform pem -in path/to/certificate.pem
    2. Configure HTTPS for Your CA

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

    Best Regards,

    Daisy Zhou
