Hello,
I've observed a strange behavior of smart card certificates.
I use my SmartCard on different virtual machines. In the certificate store I can find my SmartCard certificate, which is identical on all systems.
But what I can't understand is that there are different certification chains for the certificate.
One is chained via the Internal Issuing CA 01 -> Internal Root CA.
The other is linked via a Internal Issuing CA 02 -> External Issuing CA -> External Root CA.
I thought the certificate chain is always fixed and can't have multiple paths? Could someone here please explain the possible setup for such behavior?
Thank you!
