Question about sys.certificates

  • Hi All,

    Can anyone explain to me the actual purpose of the thumbprint field when selecting from sys.certificates? How sensitive is the data stored in that field?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    It is a hash of the certificate and not considered to be sensitive.
