I have a private (ie self signed cert) that I want to get onto the cert manager

How do I go about doing this, normally on a PC you can do this from within Internet Explorer by an option to install the cert

I cant find a way under the built in web browser, if I look at the details of the cert it is fine and browser says it is ok, however it doesnt appear in Cert Manager

The reason for doing this is I want to try out MfE but it doesnt work which I believe is because it isnt a public cert

Thanks

MfE (and the N900 certificate manager) only work with CA certificates. You can use self-signed certificates, but they need to have the CA flag set. You import certificates by opening the .pem file with the File Manager - it then prompts to import the certificate.

I did open the .pem file with File Manager but it only opened the cert it didnt ask to install

It will be too much of a pain to re-do the certs, im certain the cert I created has the CA flag set

What is the easiest way to check if it has or not

On the N900, you can run (in X Terminal):
Code:
openssl x509 -in filename.pem -text
If it has the CA flag set, then it should say CA:TRUE under X509v3 Basic Constraints.

Not sure - I've never tried anything other than the basic .pem file.

It seems there's a bug with certs that was put in PR1.1. Fixed in PR1.2.
