Hi

I am using Cosmosdb with mongodb API. By default SSL set to true. I need to download SSL CA certificate. However, I couldn't find any source to download it.

How can I retrieve SSL CA certificate for my CosmosDB?

    Correct me if I am wrong but you generally won't find a specific cownload option for the certificate directly from Azure. This is because Cosmos DB uses SSL/TLS to secure data in transit, and the connection uses the certificates trusted by the underlying system or development framework you're using.

    Why ? Just because most client libraries and development environments are configured to trust a set of well-known CA certificates that are included with the operating system or framework. For Windows Server, this means the CA certificates trusted by Windows should automatically be trusted by your application, assuming you're using standard libraries that rely on the system CA store.

    If you mean exporting the certificate here is an old thread :

    Hi, @Mert Pehlivan Welcome to Microsoft Q&A thanks for posting your question.

    You can do self SSL or you can download like the SO link provided by @Amira Bedhiafi by the way, .NET automatically downloads the certificate as soon as it connects for the first time.
