Import CA Root Certificate to Linux

Based on Thomas Leister's post -
How to import CA root certificates on Linux and Windows
and on Linux Cert Management (Chromium Docs)

Also got a tip from Grig "Punkie" Larson to have unique certificate-names
(see Installing a self-signed cert on a server, forcing Chrome on Linux to like it)

Export a Certificate from Windows

  • Start > Manage computer certificates
  • Go to: Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates
  • Select the entry you wish to export
    (like: Websense Public Primary Certificate)
  • Choose: Action > All Tasks > Export...
  • Click: [Next], [Next], [Browse]...
  • Choose name and location for the certificate
    (call it 'root.cert.cer' or something)
  • Click: [Next], [Finish]
  • Close the Manage computer certificates window

Import the Certificate to the Linux Machine

  • Get the certificate to the Linux machine
  • Run a script to distribute the certificate to the right places:
    Unix_Admin/bin/import_root_cert.sh  <path-to-cert-file>  [<certificate-name>]
