Why is this still not addressed? Every time I perform a certificate operation, I'm reminded that support for IE is ending June 15, and Edge still doesn't perform this task. Is Microsoft asleep at the wheel on this? How are they retiring a security-critical dependency without replacing it? IE 11 was released in 2013 so they've had nearly TEN YEARS to solve this or to document whatever replacement they've implemented to those still dependent upon an expiring product. Please tell me that I'm the one being stupid and just missing the answer somehow?

Keith_D I wish you were wrong and a solution would have been published. However, I too am in this same situation where I have a major dependence upon the MS internal CA and would really like to have an easy way for us to continue using this service. A replacement has been avoided due to the institutional impact and complicated change management. If there is any update on this I would really appreciate a follow-up post.

saraalex - I'm afraid you're having a very different and unrelated problem with your website. The problem being discussed in this thread isn't related to trouble with websites on the internet not working correctly in the Edge browser, so you'll need to seek help with that on another post or forum related to whatever the problem is that you're having with Edge on your website. You might be better off seeking help for that kind of issue on one of the website developer help forums, as the users on those sites will have a lot more experience in that area.
I can tell you that the certificate for your website was issued by Cloudflare on July 10th, and there are no problems with your website certificate according to the certificate checkers at sslshopper.com, digicert.com, thesslstore.com, or Qualys' ssllabs.com, and Cloudflare doesn't use the Windows Certificate Authority for issuing those certificates. If you were having the problem we're discussing here, you wouldn't have a certificate on your website because you wouldn't be able to get one in the first place because of this issue.
What we're talking about here is a problem with the Microsoft Windows Certificate Authority product that's built into Windows Server, which still requires using Microsoft Internet Explorer for some of its functionality despite Microsoft having retired Internet Explorer and no longer shipping it with any of the latest versions of Windows. Their current certificate authority product is not compatible with any currently supported web browser available in their latest operating systems despite that product still being shipped in their latest operating systems with that requirement. It's a catch-22 for Windows server and network administrators who use the Windows Certificate Authority product.
I hope that helps.- NickF101Aug 03, 2022Copper Contributor
It's crazy that a core Microsoft security-related application still has an ActiveX dependency in 2022
