Hi:
3 days ago I had to reinstall Mozilla Firefox from the openSuse
repository, not the downloaded tar ball.
After installation, Firefox had problems with the security certificates
and wouldn't open a single https website.
This forced me to look into how security certificates are handled, but
what I did find out using yast to partially help, is that the crt and
pem files are put in folders all over the place, there appears to be no
central repository.
Is Kleopatra a good tool to reorganize the security certificates? Right
now openSuse puts most, but not all, certificates into the
/var/lib/ca-certificates folder with two subfolders, pem and openssl.
Is it a good idea to use this folder as the main library of security
certificates?
In the future, I am trying to avoid Firefox from marking all the
certificates as untrustable and having to manually go in and tell it
that things are okay.
What is your favorite certificate manager and why?
