[Feature request] Allow ':' separated certificate fingerprints for self-signed certificates

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When creating a new X509 device, the format produced by OpenSSL is not accepted:

The format is produced by using openssl x509 -text -noout -fingerprint -in mycertificate.pem

Output:

[...]
SHA1 Fingerprint=A0:F7:88:0B:5C:5A:00:BF:55:71:B8:2F:95:47:7B:AA:94:C1:E5:2B

Describe the solution you’d like

Azure IoT Explorer could automatically remove the “:” characters after copy/paste.
Allow browsing and opening the Binary DER / Base64 / PEM certificate file. Automatically extract the fingerprint.

This works:

Describe alternatives you’ve considered I manually remove the “:” (or using various scripts).

Additional context It’s fairly common to use OpenSSL to generate development certificates for non-automated testing and exploration tasks. This would save a few seconds for every certificate uploaded.
