Question

certificate authority server not trusting server certs

Answer 1

Dear Michael Miller,

Thank you for reaching out. We understand how critical certificate trust is for secure communication across your infrastructure, and we’re here to help you resolve the issue.

If your Certificate Authority (CA) server is not trusting server certificates, this may be due to one or more of the following reasons:

• The server certificate was not issued by a trusted CA or is missing from the trusted root store.
• The certificate chain is incomplete or improperly configured.
• The certificate has expired or does not match the expected domain name.
• The CA server’s trust policies or revocation settings are blocking validation.

We recommend reviewing the certificate path using the certutil or MMC Certificates snap-in, and confirming that the issuing CA is present in the trusted root store. Additionally, ensure that intermediate certificates are correctly installed and that the certificate’s subject name matches the server’s hostname.

Please let me know if any of these steps help resolve the issue. If you find this answer helpful, feel free to hit "Accept Answer" so others can benefit too 😊. T&B, Domic.
