Description

Hello,

I tried following the ZScaler guide to add a new CA certificate to my containers, but later curl calls were still failing.
Using explicit curl --cacert /path/to/zscaler-cert.pem ... did work though.

After some research, I found out that only files with .crt extension are automatically added by update-ca-certificates but the guide suggests to use .pem extension instead..

Surprisingly an earlier generic guide for adding ca certs in a docker image does tell users to use .crt extension, so I guess this is only an error/typo in the zscaler guide.

/cc @dvdksn (as you wrote both guides in #21284 #20822)

Suggestion

The guide should be updated to use zscaler-cert.crt instead of zscaler-cert.pem, so that update-ca-certificates actually automatically adds it to the trusted ca certificates.
