winebrowser and self signed certificates

senser · Post by **senser** » Tue May 26, 2009 4:49 am

Hello,

I'm trying to open a site protected with self-signed certificate with winebrowser, but error occurs: "***** uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed. Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid". and there is no option to continue.
I know this is gecko related quiestion, but I'm looking for some way to import self signed certificate or to configure gecko to accept it automatically.
I found this site https://www.security.spodhuis.org/ where is described how to import certificate with console program certutil, but I cannot find .db file in ~/.wine directory.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

P.S. Installng of other browser (i.e. Firefox for windows) is not a solution, because I'm using software that calls the default browser to render some windows, so installin firefox for windows doesn't change the behaviour of this software - it still calls default winebrowser

You probably are not going to like this: File a bug report. It appears
this is not implemented or stopped working.

BTW, what version of Wine are you using? If you are not using 1.1.22,
ignore the comment above and try that version first.

Thank you.

Hi James,

I'm using last version of wine for my distribution Gentoo AMD64 - currently it runs wine-1.1.22 but still can't find way to browse sites with self signed certificates. Can you give some suggestions about this version of wine?
Gentoo linux offers a way to build wine without gecko support - so I'm wondering could this be helpful in some manner, but I don't know what engine will use wine for html rendering.

It doesn't have any other engine available to use.
