I would assume that this is in DER format.

And OpenSSL does not seem to want to load it. I would recommend trying
to convert the CA certificate into PEM format, e.g., with

openssl x509 -inform DER -in CollabSvcsCA.crt -outform PEM \
    -out CollabSvcsCa.pem

and then configuring wpa_supplicant to use this .pem file as ca_cert.
