Questions

• Was I on the right path for validating a digital certificate in Windows with Powershell? I was thinking about a few options:

• Invoke-WebRequest

  • I want to do this without .NET -- back in 2016 that wasn't possible per Assessing Remote Certificates with Powershell. According to this 2020 blog post, that may no longer be true: Display Certificate info of remote HTTPS connection.
  • Yep. I think that Test-Certificate is close to what I want but I want the command I use to go ahead and retrieve the certificate for me. This cmdlet wants me to supply it. src
    • But we can probably workaround that with Get-childitem cert: -recurse or similar.
• Down the rabbit hole
  • About HTTPS, SChannel, TLS, CAPI, SSL Certificates and their keys
