win-ca @VSCode

Make Trusted Root Certificates @Windows available to VSCode extensions

Abstract

This is minimal possible VSCode Extension. It's only purpose is to run win-ca package, so all Trusted Root Certificates becomes available to other VSCode extensions.

This extensions may appear usable when all three conditions are met:

1. You run VSCode on Microsoft Windows

2. You trust some non-standard (not Mozilla) root certificates (in most cases - your Enterprise Trust)

3. You use some other VSCode extensions that connects to some server that uses certificate, signed by root from 2.

In other words, you can connect to (most likely) intranet site with Internet Explorer or Chrome, but VSCode fails to connect to it.

In this case you can install this extension. It fetches list of Windows' Trusted Root Certification Authorities and make those certitficates available to other VSCode extensions as https.globalAgent.options.ca.

In some cases this helps.

Installation

Install from here or open VS Code, hit Ctrl+Shift+X (Extensions pane), search for win-ca and press Install.
