Well your request is our command, and we are back with another event for our customers and partners. We're doing things a little differently this time: First of all, we'll be honing in on specifics around CASB and TLSi, we will even have a short demo at the beginning to help you start using, or get the most out of, your investment. (We'll still take general questions from the audience) The other change is that this time, we're offering ~*options*~ Join us on: November 4th, 2025 at 3pm HKT or November 6th, 2025 at 11am EST During this live AMAs with members of our talented Professional Services team we’ll cover topics like: The latest versions of TLSi and CASB Best practices we’ve seen across real-world environments Your questions... seriously, bring them Here’s how to get the most out of it: Register for the November 4th or November 6th meetings and get the calendar invite and join us live Post your questions below in the comments — we’ll answer pre-submitted ones first, before tackling live chat during the session + See a question you like? Give it a “like” to help it rise to the top Note: We won’t be able to look at specific CMA instances — demos will be done using internal environments. That’s it — register, post your questions, and we’ll see you there!

Use case: I have a TLS bypass rule for a domain that I would like removed. I added this rule because the certificate is not trusted. Now I need to grab certificate details. I have a certificate that appears to be missing from Cato TLS store. I want to report the same to Cato Support. Although I have p7b file which only works on Windows. How do I convert it to a regular certificate and just share with support? Prerequisites: A system with openSSL installed. If you are using a MacBook install HomeBrew and update OpenSSL libraries to the latest version [version as of writing this article - 3.6.0]. xyz@MacBook1 ~ %/ bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" xyz@MacBook1 ~ % brew update xyz@MacBook1 ~ % brew install openssl@3 xyz@MacBook1 ~ % openssl version Solution: If you have a pem file which can be opened in a text editor and it shows BEGIN and END lines with hashes, skip to the final step #3. Procedure: Save p7b file on a folder and run following openssl pkcs7 command from that folder "openssl pkcs7 -inform DER -in input_file.p7b -print_certs -out output_file.pem" Once it is converted open the cdrts.pem file in a text editor. Individually copy text from BEGIN to END values and save them in separate files, save as .pem extension. Further use following openssl command to fetch the SN# and SHA256 fingerprint against each file "openssl x509 -in cdrts.pem -noout -serial -fingerprint -sha256" Sample conversion using above method: xyz@Linux-Host1 % openssl pkcs7 -inform DER -in corphqglobal.p7b -print_certs -out cdrts.pem xyz@Linux-Host1 % openssl x509 -in cdrts.pem -noout -serial -fingerprint -sha256 -dates -subject Other alternate solutions- Although clumsy and not easy to copy paste just the SN or hash you can use an internet browser such as Google Chrome to view certificate details from "view site info" icon (or a pad lock icon on other browsers) next to the the browser address bar Use Chapt GPT or co-pilot and upload p7b file there. I have tried it but not 100% of the times I got the right SN. I would encourage verifying the results with step 4 above.
