Inquiry - how to make ODBC driver trust CA certs in Mac Keychain? #47

I'm trying to connect Tableau Desktop to a Databricks cluster. Because the cluster is using a certificate signed by our internal CA, the driver did not work out of the box.

Now, this CA was actually already imported to my local Mac keychain and set as "always trust". But, the driver does not seem to recognize this. To solve this, I had to export the CA cert from the keychain in PEM format and reference it in the Databricks "extra parameters" like so: `TrustedCerts=/path/to/pem/file/my_ca_cert.pem".

This was a bit frustrating to troubleshoot. My question is, is there any way that I (or you?) can change the driver to use/trust whatever certs are already imported into the Mac Keychain? Or, would it be possible to add a button to "embed" a trusted certificate directly within the connector?

The reason I ask is that this would greatly simplify the Tableau Server configurations.
