How to import certificate

[flender]

Hello,

I use a old version : 3.18.14-porteus-kiosk
I'm forced to use this version beacause my kiosk is running on a very old computer, and with the new porteus version the wireless driver is not supported.

The kiosk is used to get on a https web interface. So the browser need a certificate.
How can i insert this certificate in my kiosk (during the wizard or after) ?
Or during the wizard can I modify a firefox parameter to accepte all security exception ?

Thanks for your help

Hello flender,

"I use a old version : 3.18.14-porteus-kiosk

If you send me debug report on [email protected] then i'll have a look why its not working (at least with 3.7.0 release).

"How can i insert this certificate in my kiosk (during the wizard or after) ?

If its self signed cert then you must:
1) create clean Firefox profile under any Linux
2) navigate to your website and manually accept your certificate
3) remaster kiosk ISO as per this doc:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/kiosk-customization.html
4) copy cert8.db and cert_override.txt from your Firefox profile to your custom module
5) create new kiosk ISO

More info:

That should do it.

Hi,

Can you tell me where is located the file " cert_override.txt" on the kiosk when they is running ? (by ssh connection)
I have found cert8.db in "/home/guest/.mozilla/firefox/c3pp43bg.default/cert8.db"


Thanks

cert_override.txt should be also placed in the Firefox profile directory. Doing it over ssh wont work as profile is cleared during every browser restart. You must remaster installation ISO.

Thanks.

[flender]

Yes I know, It was just for copy cert8.db and cert_override.txt

I have unpack my module;
Can you give me the path where I need to insert the files ? /tmp/..../xzm/squashfs-root/usr/lib/firefox ?


Thanks

[fanthom]

Both files should go to Firefox profile directory which is:

Code: Select all

/home/guest/.mozilla/firefox/c3pp43bg.default

Please remember that root must have an ownership of the '/home' folder and guest must own the rest. Guest UID:GID is 1000:1000.

Hi,

Hum ... I don't understand

I'have my 2 files (cert8.db and cert_override.txt )

Now I need to insert this files in my custom module.

But, when I unpack the firefox module (002-firefox.xzm) I can't find the profile directory why ?
(I search in /tmp/kiosk_iso/xzm/squashfs-root/usr/lib/firefox)
I have no profile directory such as c3pp43bg.default

Where can I found this directory for insert my files ?

[fanthom]

Create new module and add your custom files preserving correct path and permissions.

[flender]

Sorry, I don't understand what I need to do

I need to create a script who copy cert8.db and cert_override.txt to /home/guest/.mozilla/firefox/c3pp43bg.default ?
But, firstly how can insert my file in the custom module ? For the script can copy them


Thanks for you help ...
