Research direction

The issue mentions SSPIClient and a self-signed certificate generated when SQL Server starts, but names no source file or test. First clarify the certificate format and whether the requested outcome is documentation or a viewing capability; done would be an agreed explanation of the format and validity period.

Description

Hi. What is the format of the certificates that SSPIClient extracts? I am using a self-signed certificate that is generated when SQL Server starts. I would like to view the details of this certificate, especially the validity period.
