Thanks for that. I'm have to decide on my end what route to take. 1) Keep it as is (before the test files) or 2) If it is a ClouldFlare Origin cert then use the chain policy AllowUnknownCertificateAuthority. Probably 1.
For simplicity of development, I would say go with route 1 but maybe tweak the LetsEncrypt function/verbiage to state "Custom PFX". If somebody is building custom PFX chains they should know what they are doing. Or even keep that as-is and update the ProScan documentation to mention that custom PFX is allowed under the LetsEncrypt function.

Did it manually. I too was once an ADCS admin back in the server 2008 IT admin days. :cool:
I probably used Portecle more than I'd want to ever again! Guessing there are easier ways now though, PSPKI has some great tooling available but I never go to the point of scripting up a PFX builder.

Agreed. I'd also add some text for those brave souls with custom PFX to ensure they add any required root CA certs to their LocalMachine cert store. I still needed to do that to get a good verification. I think bouncy or .net might ignore the bundled PFX's root CA for security reasons (just guessing).
