Hi,

I try to add or import a root-ca-certificate to my linux box. I copied the root-ca-certificate to /usr/share/ca-certificates and after that run the command update-ca-certificates. Unfortunately nothing is happens. The root-ca-certificate came from my windows 10 certification store and I exported it as a base64 encoded X.509 file. I than converted it with openssl

You are sure that in /usr/share/ca-certificates (better is /usr/local/share/ca-certificates) you should put pem and not crt?
If you look in /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla there are only crt certificates

Hello.

/usr/share/ca-certificates is for certs coming from the package, you should set yours in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates instead.

Hi guitou and fedeliallalinea,

thank you very much! You are both right!

I have to put the certs in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates rather then in /usr/share/ca-certificates. But this directories dosn't exists on my gentoo linux box. I had to create the directory share and the subfolder ca-certificates. Then, after running update-ca-certificates[/i] my new certs was added.
