Finding the Thumbprint of a Certificate
Example: When you find the 93 43 67 bf 1c 97 03 3f 87 7d b0 f1 5c b1 b5 86 95 7d 31 33 thumbprint for a search security certificate, you can enter it in a certificate whitelist as follows: <Thumbprint>934367bf1c97033f877db0f15cb1b586957d313</Thumbprint>
You can find the thumbprint of a certificate using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), by importing a certificate, and then read its thumbprint in the properties.
Note: You can use other external tools to extract the thumbprint of a certificate. Portecle is one of them with which you can find the thumbprint under the SHA-1 fingerprint section (see http://portecle.sourceforge.net/).
