Hi,


Off late I noticed a behaviour with many https websites.



When I first access that website, for e.g. https://www.cloudflare.com  the
issuer CA is shown as “Windows Event Reporting CA”.  When I access the same
site subsequently, it is showing proper CA as “ Cloudflare Inc ECC CA -3”.

What is this Windows Event Reporting CA? Why does it show this as CA when
accessing for the first time?



With regards,

Saravanan
