Satisfies: SRG-OS-000403-GPOS-00182, SRG-OS-000775-GPOS-00230

Check

Verify the macOS system is configured to issue or obtain public key certificates from an approved service provider with the following command:

/usr/bin/security dump-keychain /Library/Keychains/System.keychain | /usr/bin/awk -F'"' '/labl/ {print $4}'

If the result does not contain a list of approved certificate authorities, this is a finding.

Fix
