How to enable AD certificate validation, 2.14

I'd like to enable the Active Directory certificate validation but I can't find any thorough instructions on how to do this. The documentation starts with:

Procedure

  1. Ensure the name of the PEM formatted certificate file is adCA.pem.

How do I obtain the necessary certificate? Any guidance is appreciated.

See the pre-req in the official doc:

Enable Secure Communication Between App Volumes Manager and Active Directory

To get the .crt, you open up Certificates snap-in with MMC. You find your domain certificate and any sub-cas (Hopefully you are pushing it through GPO) and export it to crt file.

Using openssl to convert to pem. see the section Converting Using OpenSSL
