Resolution

Our Java servers in no way interact with the Microsoft Certificate Store.

For applications that interact with the Microsoft Certificate Store, the ports that are assigned to the certificates can be listed with the following command:

netsh http show sslcert

The only Dell Security Management Server that uses a cert in the Microsoft store is the Core server which runs on port 8888.
