We want to be able to use the certs generated by dotnet dev-certs to help create a seamless dev exp across Azurite, ASP.NET, Storage Explorer, and the SDKs. This issue is blocking that exp.

1. Generate a cert

• Install dotnet SDK
  dotnet dev-certs https --trust -ep cert.pfx -p azurite

2. Start Azurite with that cert
   npm install azurite
azurite --oauth basic --cert cert.pfx --pwd azurite --blobHost localhost --queueHost localhost

3. Create connection to Azurite using this connection string
   DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=devstoreaccount1;AccountKey=Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==;BlobEndpoint=https://localhost:10000/devstoreaccount1;QueueEndpoint=https://localhost:10001/devstoreaccount1;

4. Add cert to Storage explorer

Edit -> SSL Certificates -> Import Certificates

Import the cert.pfx file you created in first step

5. Reload Storage Explorer

6. Try to access Azurite node and you get this:
   

I tried importing the cert into the Root Certificate store, but still got the same issue. Here's the command I tried:
certutil -f -user -enterprise -p azurite -importpfx root cert.pfx

This same cert works with the Azure SDKs, so I think there's something about Storage Explorer that doesn't support this cert. The source for how this cert is generated is here:
