To avoid this, you have two choice. Register/trust the certificate in you browser or register the CA you used to signe the certificate (useful if you have to use multiple certificate for different purposes or if you will have to update your certificate often). To make the registration easy, you can link your certificate from your cite. Click on the link and you browser will ask you if you want to register the certificate. > > -- > > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > -- Alain Spineux aspineux gmail com May the sources be with you -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
