Jakob,
I don't really understand why the engine *needs* to do PSS. Neither of the badssl certificates seem to use it for signatures. (I'm assuming the fact that a cert was signed with RSA-PSS would show up in the Windows certificate viewer...) If you could give a short summary of the problem as you understand it, perhaps it would help me narrow in on a workaround. I'd be happy with even an ugly patch at this point. Given that server verification works fine with a ca-bundle file, I wonder whether it would be possible to have the capi engine handle only the client authentication. As you understand it, would the problem breaking server verification also preclude client authentication with the capi engine?
Thanks,
Brett S.

Looking at the brutal wontfixing of that bug, maybe reconsider if the
existing engine interface can do PSS by simply having the CAPI/CAPIng
engine export the generic PKEY type for PSS-capable RSA keys. Also,
maybe use a compatible stronger CAPI "provider" (their engines) to do
stronger hashes etc.
Enjoy
