[cabfpub] Edge Browser Can't View Certificate

[Rob Stradling]

Hi Jody.  Another "gap" I've noticed with Edge is that, with ActiveX no 
longer supported, certificate enrolment using CertEnroll no longer works.

This means that Edge can't be used to obtain Code Signing Certificates 
or S/MIME Certificates from many (if not most or even all) CAs.

Do you have any plans to plug this gap?
(Or is the long-term plan simply that CAs should recommend the use of a 
different browser?)

Or, can you point me in the direction of some alternative certificate 
enrolment technology that Edge does already support?

Thanks.
