Root Certificates out of date?

I am trying to set the home page of my kiosk to a site that has a valid Comodo SSL certificate. I just created the ISO for the kiosk today. I am getting an untrusted site error. How can the root certificates for Firefox be updated. The SSL cert for this web server is valid on every other system I have tried... I think it is a root cert issue.

THANKS!

hi styszler,

does kiosk display the same SSL warning on other sites as well? maybe you could install ca-certificates package from slackware-14.1 repo (convert it to xzm module using our desktop edition):
http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/ ... arch-1.txz
and add this command to rc.local:

Code: Select all

update-ca-certificates --fresh
btw: please use kiosk section of the forum for kiosk related issues:
Porteus Kiosk Edition

i'll move your post there once you answer to this post.

Dear Fanthom,

Firstly, I thought I was in the right kiosk forum, apologies.

I am not sure how to apply your advice. I just built an iso using the web-based wizard. How, specifically, would I make those adaptations? If I convert to XZM (whatever that means!) how do I include it in the ISO? What does it mean to add the command to rc.local? I am not as un-technical as my questions make me sound, but I am more of a windows/mac person. Wouldn't something as basic as that be updated centrally? I am, hopefully, not doing something too weird. I just want to present a secure form on my kiosk.

Dear tome,

I am pretty sure the system has the correct time but I will re-check. Thanks.

Best,
Sam
