Self signed SSL - Your connection is not private [Solved]

Hi

I use Porteus-Kiosk 5.0.0.0 with Chrome.

I need to use it without Internet and just a direct LAN connection between a touch screen all-in-one pc and a BMS Controller (Building Management System)

Is there a way to configure and accept a self signed SSL certificate to avoid the alert page:
"Your connection is not private" -> Advanced -> Proceed to 10.10.10.10 (unsafe) before showing the login screen?

I use full screen without Navigator.

Have tried to whitelist and set some browser_preferences without succes.

Hello Farfh,

For Chrome you can use this parameter to workaround the problem:
https://porteus-kiosk.org/parameters.ht ... rtificates

Mind it will completely skip certificate checking on all websites. This should be safe for LAN but i would not enable it if internet browsing is possible in the kiosk (for this case a custom build with manually added certificate exception would be better).

Thanks

It worked.
Made a simple custom build with a kiosk-config.txt file ready to edit and import under installation.
Thank you

Has the content in link you referenced changed?
I see no reference to disabling certificate checking there.

Those tweaks were no longer working with newer Chrome so I removed them from documentation.
Custom ISO is required for accepting self signed certs.

Thanks
