Re: [389-users] Recover after installing a bad cert.

My understanding is that I should not need to do anything on the client to make it work. Please note that this is a valid certificate from a real CA.  The use of an intermediate certificate (although very annoying) is sometimes used, and is normal. Although, the only other company i've used were i needed to use an intermediate cert was through verisign.

I think i may have mistakenly thought that jxplorer would use the same source of trusted CA's as the os.  Now that i'm looking into some of the settings, I see it actually only has a handful of CA certs.

Does Jxplorer have the CA cert?
