Any news on this issue? I would like to use certificates from the windows cert store for our tomcat servers, because these will get automatically renewed by AD cert templates.

The problem is: it currently works only when the tomcat server is running as LocalSystem.

<Certificate certificateKeystoreType="Windows-MY-LOCALMACHINE"
                         certificateKeystoreFile=""
                         certificateKeyAlias="cert-alias"
                         protocols="TLSv1.2,TLSv1.3"
                         />

I need a solution which works with a gMSA - without admin rights.
