However, it seems you don't actually need to add this extra info to the exception messsage. Could we just use the `denyAfterDate` (after "used with Constraint date: ") and reformat it into YYYY-MM-DD format if necessary?

The CertPathValidatorException is: `denyAfter constraint check failed: SHA1 used with Constraint date: Mon Dec 31 16:00:00 PST 2018; params date: Tue Jan 25 19:56:48 PST 2022 used with certificate: CN=CA`
So, the reformat of the `denyAfterDate` to YYYY-MM-DD format will be 2018-12-31.
