Configuring certificate trust settings for code signing and time stamping

Trust Protection Platform allows you to configure Adaptable CA using code signed PowerShell scripts. This eliminates the need to approve scripts if they are modified, which removes the operational downtime. The verification process includes verifying script signatures, chaining to a trusted root certificate authority, and optionally verifying the attributes of signing certificates.

Configuring trust for signing or trust for time stamping indicates that you trust all certificates issued by the selected root and its subordinate authorities.
