Description

Describe the bug

I am having an issue where my company is generating new Entrust certs and they fail on all our linux boxes. Only way to fix it is to upgrade the system to the latest release of certain software packages. In this case we are talking about a VMWare appliance running Photon OS. Don't want to go thru what I would have to in my company to update this. I assume I need to add these root certs to the ca-bundle.crt file but rather not do this manually as our cert guy has been playing with multiple root certs and want to add them all. I an going to assume current versions of Photon have an updated ca-bundle.crt file and I could just replace mine with that one. How would I get that updated file assuming this makes sense.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue's ca-bundle.crt and Photon OS context, including the reported Entrust certificate failure on Linux. Determine whether Photon provides a supported way to update the bundle and define completion as a clear, verified procedure for obtaining the updated certificates.
