Step 1. Install Mac OS X

Programs to open CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG file
Remember to download programs supporting CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG files
If, despite the installed application, the CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG file does not start in the Mac OS X application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG file with the Mac OS X program.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Mac OS X program, it is possible that Apple Mac OS X Certificate Assistant Configuration requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apple, Inc. page and install.

The CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG file again. However, some background programs may block the CERTAUTHORITYCONFIG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
