Linux and Dell Technologies CA

Please note that the following instructions were written for Oracle Enterprise Linux 8.4; specific filepaths and commands may vary slightly between Linux distros.

The default ca-bundle.crt will usually lack the Dell Technologies Root CA and issuing certs. Here you can download a pem file that will need to be appended to the appropiate ca-bundle file.

This is only required if applications depending on OpenSSL are failing TLS validation of sites using Dell Technologies CA issued certs.

A Linux SE must do the following as root:

  1. Retrieve the Dell Technologies Internal CA 2018 Root Certificate as well as the issuing CA certificates:
    cd /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors

    curl https://pki.dell.com/linux/dellca2018-bundle.crt -o dellca2018-bundle.crt

  2. Run "update-ca-trust" to append all CA certs under /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors to the system CA bundle

  3. Run "grep "Dell Technologies Root Certificate Authority" /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt" to verify successful import.
