**Workaround:**
To use the classic OpenSSL behavior in Git, you'll need a PEM file containing certificates that are considered trusted. The [public list](https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html) provided by the curl project can be used if you are not connecting to a GitHub Enterprise instance which has it's own distinct certificates.
**We do not recommend setting this config value for normal Git usage**. This is intended to be an "escape hatch" for situations where the network administrator has restricted the normal usage of SChannel APIs on Windows that Git is trying to use.
Once you've downloaded that PEM file somewhere, open a shell with Git and run these commands:
Run this command in your Git shell to disable the revocation check:
```shellsession
$ git config --global http.sslBackend "openssl"
$ git config --global http.sslCAInfo "C:/path with spaces/to/directory/cacert.pem"
$ git config --global http.schannelCheckRevoke false
```
Ensure you use forward slashes for the path when setting the `sslCAInfo` value.
