Hi,
We are using SharePoint 2013 and have noticed that our event logs are full of errors like this
“A certificate validation operation took 14997.4385 milliseconds and has exceeded the execution time threshold. If this continues to occur, it may represent a configuration issue”
I had a look at the SharePoint certificates via MMC and the certification paths stated that the publisher could not be contacted. After some investigation I exported the SharePoint root certificates into the Trusted Root Certificates. The certification path for the SharePoint certificates now shows their status as Ok, however, the certificate errors are still appearing in the event logs.
If anyone has any suggestions as to why these errors are still occurring that would be really helpful.
Regards
Neil
