I've used this a few times, and greatly appreciate it!

Recently, the script will prompt me to enter my login for each certificate. Do you know if there is any way to remediate this?

Thank you!

Unfortunately I think this is a measurement Apple put in place when modifying the trust store. The best I can offer is using TouchID many, many times if your system supports it.

They updated the cert URL to 'https://dl.dod.cyber.mil/wp-content/uploads/pki-pke/zip/unclass-certificates_pkcs7_DoD.zip' and the extension is changed to just .p7b so you need to update line 1 and line 11 to make this work again.
