Fix Recommendation

Configure OL 9 to only allow the use of DOD PKI-established certificate authorities.

For each untrusted CA, export the certificate to a file and add it to the blocklist:

$ trust dump --filter "pkcs11:id=%7C%42%96%AE%DE%4B%48%3B%FA%92%F8%9E%8C%CF%6D%8B%A9%72%37%95;type=cert" > /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/blocklist/ISRGRootX2

$ update-ca-trust

Verify that the certificate is in the blocklist:

$ trust list --filter=blocklist
p11-kit: overriding trust for anchor in blocklist: ISRGRootX2
pkcs11:id=%7C%42%96%AE%DE%4B%48%3B%FA%92%F8%9E%8C%CF%6D%8B%A9%72%37%95;type=cert
