Self-signed certificate error when installing Python support in WSL in spite of custom root certificate correctly installed in WSL #131836

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.59.1
• OS Version: Windows 10.0.19042, WSL 5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2
• Python Language extension : v2021.8.1159798656

My company uses an SSL inspection on company devices and provides a custom root CA certificate. In Windows, this is already pre-installed in the system certificate store and VS Code works fine in Windows where there are no problems installing & using Python language support. For WSL, the certificates & a process to install them in the system certificate store are provided (below) However, when trying to setup Python Language support in WSL I get a self-signed certificate error in spite of following the process to install the custom root certificates in WSL.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Copy custom certificates to WSL CA-Certificates folder

sudo cp *.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/

2. Install

sudo update-ca-certificates

3. Launch VS Code and connect to WSL project
4. Try to install Python support in WSL
5. Get error - self signed certificate in certificate chain
