Manual Certificate Sync if Automatic Certificate Download Fails:

• If automatic certificate synchronization fails due to network issues, extension integrity verification will not occur. In such cases, the following error will appear:

• To import the certificate manually, navigate to server_home/bin/adsf and execute importExtensionCert.bat (for Windows) or importExtensionCert.sh (for Linux/macOS).

• The certificate download link will be available within the popup. Once downloaded, browse to the file and import the certificate.

• After importing the appropriate certificate, a success popup will appear.

• Once the certificate is successfully imported, you can retry installing the same extension.
