Explanation

The Agent Installer and Content Caching applet on the Broker VM requires a SHA256-based SSL certificate because it acts as a local distribution server for Cortex XDR agent installers and content updates. Agents must establish a trusted, strongly encrypted HTTPS connection to download content, and the SHA256 SSL certificate ensures modern cipher strength is enforced. Other Broker VM applets like Syslog Collector or CSV Collector do not impose this specific certificate requirement.
