Description

Do you know TameMyCerts? TameMyCerts is an add-on for the Microsoft certification authority (Active Directory Certificate Services). It extends the function of the certification authority and enables the application of rule sets to realize the secure automation of certificate issuance. TameMyCerts is unique in the Microsoft ecosystem, has already proven itself in countless companies around the world and is available under a free license. It can be downloaded via GitHub and used free of charge. Professional maintenance is also offered.

This event occurs, among other things, when the certification authority attempts to delete one of its certification authority certificates from Authority Information Access (AIA) in Active Directory, for example, if it has been revoked (see article "What impact does the revocation of a certification authority certificate have on the certification authority? "), but has no write permission to the object.
