Recommended action: Prefer trusting the OS store: NODE_USE_SYSTEM_CA=1 (Node >=22.19/24.6) or node --use-system-ca (>=23.8). Otherwise export NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/path/corp.pem before launching node/npm, or set npm `cafile`. Avoid strict-ssl=false.
Option: Trust the OS certificate store [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Corporate root installed in OS store; Node >=22.19 or >=23.8
Steps:
1. export NODE_USE_SYSTEM_CA=1 (or NODE_OPTIONS=--use-system-ca)
2. Run npm install
Expected: TLS verifies against OS store incl. corporate root
Option: Add the corporate root via NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Any Node version >=7.3
Steps:
1. Export corporate root as PEM
2. export NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/path/corp.pem in the shell/CI env before starting node/npm
Expected: Bundled roots extended with corporate root
