Hi Jennifer,
The engineering team has requested some additional information. They're interested in understanding how you built your SignerInfo in the SignedData CMS structure attached to the SignedAuthPack.
Most specifically, they'd like to know what you entered in the DigestAlgorithmIdentifier and SignatureAlgorithmIdentifier fields.
Thanks!

Thank you, Kristian!

I reached out to the engineering team early last week with my analysis and some questions. I bumped the thread with them on Monday and they informed me that they're looking into it. I'm currently awaiting their response.

From the last traces you provided, it seemed like the Server 2025 was looking for SHA-2 encryptions, maybe we need to see if it's looking for PAChecksum2 as well. Can you please follow these [same] instructions to upload a new lsass trace to this new secure share link below?
