[3.7.0] Import certificates not working

Hi,
I'm using Porteus Kiosk to display a website. This website uses our own certificate in our enterprise. I therefore need to use the "certificate import function" which is available in the wizard. However it doesn't work.
I have written both the url for the root ca and the enterprise ca. The Enterprise CA is the issuer of the used certificate. But after this, i still get a warning in firefox that the issuer is unknown and therefore the certificate is untrusted.
Is there a bug in 3.7.0 or am i missing something?

Hello kaaremai,
Import certificates function wont work for self signed certs. Custom build will be necessary so please contact me through
builds@porteus-kiosk.org if you are interested:

Thank you.

Hi,
thanks your your quick answer - but we're not using self signed certs. We're running a proper PKI infrastructure with a root CA and an Enterprise CA as the certificate issuer. The certificate used on the webserver is not self-signed but signed by the CA. This works perfectly fine on all our normal PC's both in firefox and google chrome where the CA cert is distributed through a GPO.

Hmmm... Is the webpage which you are trying to reach from kiosk available publicly? I would like to check it myself.
Please post here your kiosk config (remove sensitive data) or send it to
support@porteus-kiosk.org.
Thank you.

Unfortunately it's not available publically.
I'm not sure how i get the config out of an already running kiosk? Is it possible to access some kind of console or menu?

Is the system time set correctly? Maybe browser "thinks" that certificate expired ... You may check it here:

"Unfortunately it's not available publically."
I must get direct access to the kiosk in order to debug this problem. I see 3 ways or doing it:
a) TeamViewer access to your PC and then i do ssh to kiosk
b) direct ssh/vnc access to kiosk
c) kiosk associated with my server:
