How to deploy PKI Root Certificate via IGEL UMS to be used inside the Firefox?


some short question. I am trying to deploy our PKI Root Certificate via UMS to be used inside the Firefox. I did it as Web Browser Certificate (.cer as base 64 )and deployed it to my test client. I am still getting a certificate error on my internal site and cant find the certificate in the Firefox Certificate store. Am I doing something horrible wrong?

Horrible? No, I can’t imagine that you are torturing your endpoint:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Can you try it again as common purpose just to be sure?

You could also check the certificate against your site: openssl s_client -connect yoursite.org:443 yoursite.org:443 -CApath /etc/ssl/certs

Which Firmware / UMS are you using?


Thanks for the Answer. I can confirm it is working via CLI. It finds my Certificate and it is valid. But it dose not show up in the Certificate Store of Firefox when I go into the Setup on the Thinclient (Session->Browser->Browser Global->Certificates->ShowCertificates) UMS Version is 5.8.110 and IGEL OS 10.05.100.01


Ok! Did you tried the common purpose?


by now I have tried any Purpose available. Also with different Filenames in case they overwrite themself.


Sounds weird but can you try to downgrade 10.04 and repeat the procedure?


I think I have figured it out. The Firefox cant handle crt in base 64. I have exportet one pem file foreach certificate and now it shows up in the certificate store of firefox.


The certificates should always be in base64 format.
