It makes for easier reading With Networkmanager it is best to put them under their own directory under... ~/.local/share/networkmanagement/certificates For example..... [egreshko@meimei certificates]$ pwd /home/egreshko/.local/share/networkmanagement/certificates [egreshko@meimei certificates]$ ls AU-Sydney-S1 US-Los-Angeles-S3 US-San-Jose-S1 US-Kansas-City-S1 US-New-York-City-S1 US-Seattle-S1 Showing I have 6 connections defined. [egreshko@meimei certificates]$ ls -Z US-Kansas-City-S1 unconfined_u:object_r:home_cert_t:s0 ca.crt unconfined_u:object_r:home_cert_t:s0 cert.crt unconfined_u:object_r:home_cert_t:s0 private.key unconfined_u:object_r:home_cert_t:s0 tls_auth.key Shows the key files for that one connection and their selinux contents. Do Not "move" the cert files to their new locations but copy them. If you move them they will not have the selinux context and you'll have to take a second step to restore the context. Then, when you try connecting you should check the journal (using journalctl) to see if the connection is made and/or if there are any errors.
