Edge View Certificate Information KB ID 0001815

Problem

Not sure why, but I spend a large amount of time working on certificate problems, being asked questions about certificates, or fixing certificate problems. For certs that are web presented, back in the days of IE I could simply do this.

For those sniggering at my IE use – I typically work on client’s sites where I can’t go round installing browsers that are not terrible! Now that was all fine, now we (finally have got rid of IE (mostly)). How do I do the same with Edge?

I was losing my temper trying to fix my test Exchange server certificates today. Because I could not find the same information with Microsoft Edge. As it transpires the information is there, Microsoft have just done their best to hide it!

Edge View Certificate Information: Solution

You need to click the ‘padlock’ > Connection is Secure > Then click the small Icon at the top > the certificate details are then displayed on two tabs, the information is not as well formatted as it used to be, but it’s all there.

Problem

I used to use Chrome all the time back in the dark ages before I saw the light and bought a mac. Since then I’ve persevered with Safari and never felt the need to go back.

This afternoon someone in the office asked, ‘How do you see site certificates in Chrome?’ Which I thought was a little odd as it’s easy to do in IE, Firefox, and Safari. So I jumped on a remote machine for a look. Sure enough it’s well hidden?

Solution

With the site loaded  > {Three Dots} or Ellipses  > More Tools > Developer Tools.

Security Tab (might be hidden, use the ‘more’ arrows) > View Certificate.
