Description

OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge 114.

If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge performs verification of server certificates using the built-in certificate verifier with the Microsoft Root Store as the source of public trust.

If you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge uses the system certificate verifier and system root certificates.

If you don't configure this policy, the Microsoft Root Store or system-provided roots may be used.

This policy is planned to be removed in Microsoft Edge version
121 for Android devices when support for using the platform-supplied roots is planned to be removed.

This policy was removed in Microsoft Edge version 115 for
Microsoft Windows and macOS,
Microsoft Edge version 120 for
Linux, and
Microsoft Edge version 121 for
Android
when support for using the platform-supplied certificate verifier and roots was removed.
