Pacman does not work properly with our corporate certificate

[JaFojtik]

I has been followed all recomendations for using corporace certificates. Unfortunatelly I cannot make pacman working properly.

I have asked our IT department and they give me this certificate: zsc.zip it also does not work.
PEMs from Firefox: PEM.zip

One guy from our IT told me that pacman needs corporate certificate to be root signed. This corporate certificate is only self-signed, it does from external company Zscaller and we cannot do anything with it.

$ pacman -Fy widl.exe
error: mingw32: missing required signature
error: mingw64: missing required signature
error: ucrt64: missing required signature
error: clang32: missing required signature

error: database 'clang64' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
error: database 'msys' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

Is it possible to completelly turn off ssl verification?

Does the workaround mentioned here work?

[JaFojtik]

No. Our guy from IT told me that a problem is probably, that pacman rejects corporate self signed certificate. There is no line about corporate self signed and root signed neccessity. I obtain no debug info that a cetrifficate is not accepted.

I have attempted both, certificates extracted from Firefox, and a certificate from our IT.

Hello,

I do not understand the problem. As I think, that ROOT certificate is always self-signed.
Is this problem solvable with this SSL inspection in the way?

Thank you.

Here is part of error messages:

And here is a certificate chain list by openssl s_client:
