Est-il possible d’utiliser le magasin d’autorités de certification Windows plutôt que de devoir spécifier un chemin vers un fichier de certificat en dur ?
Les autorités de certification étant déjà déployées sur mes serveurs via des GPO, il serait pertinent de pouvoir s’appuyer sur ce mécanisme existant plutôt que de maintenir des fichiers séparés.

 


 

Is it possible to use the Windows Certification Authorities store instead of specifying a hard-coded path to a certificate file?
Since the certification authorities are already deployed to my servers via Group Policy, it would make sense to leverage this existing mechanism rather than maintaining separate certificate files.

Hi,

yes, it’s possible to store CMA certificates in Windows Certification Authorities Store, if you are using “Agent-initiated connection” mode.

Hello,

I am correctly configured in “Agent-initiated connection” mode.
What configuration is required on the agent side to instruct it to validate certificates using the Windows certificate store?

I tried leaving the CA field empty, but this does not work.

For your information, my CA certificates are installed in the Local Computer certificate store, under Intermediate Certification Authorities.

Thank you in advance.
