Add SSL Certificate to Windows Docker Container

Question

How can I add a .cer-Certificate inside a Docker container? It has to be done via powershell since the container has no interface to open mms.exe.

This is a good tutorial for .pfx-Certificates. Since I have a .cer-file without private key, I have to adapt it slightly. The powershell command from the documentation Import-Certificate -FilePath C:\myCertificateToAdd.cert -CertStoreLocation Cert:\CurrentUser\Root\ gets stuck whenever called.

Answer 1

The problem does not appear when importing to the LocalMachine folder:

Import-Certificate -FilePath C:\myCertificateToAdd.cert -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root\

Like this, the certificate is importet to every "CurrentUser" on the machine. If this is ok, as for the typical DockerContainer, the problem is solved.
