1 The Debian Package ca-certificates
2 ----------------------------------
4 Common CA certificates PEM files, installed in /usr/share/ca-certificates/
6 It includes the following certificates:
7 - spi-inc.org certificate
8 - db.debian.org certificate
9 - debconf.org certificate
10 - Mozilla builtin CA certificates
11 - brasil.gov.br certificate
12 - cacert.org certificate
15 /etc/ca-certificates.conf
17 # dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates
19 update-ca-certificates will update /etc/ssl/certs
21 generate ca-certificates.crt (single-file version)
23 /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt may be used by the web browsers
24 in Debian, such as w3m, when deciding what secure web sites to trust.
25 For w3m package, it has ssl_ca_path configuration in /etc/w3m/w3mconfig,
26 so it works without any configuration. You can specify
27 /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt for ssl_ca_file instead.
30 How certificate will be accepted in ca-certificates package
31 -----------------------------------------------------------
33 - submit *GPG signed* bug report to ca-certificate with severity normal.
34 the bug report should include
35 - description of the CA
36 - how to obtain CA cert pem or paste it in the bug report
37 - license of the CA certificate
38 - fingerprint and/or hash value of the cert
39 - get 2 or 3 recommendation ("seconded" mail) from other people to
40 the bug report, GPG signed.
41 I won't accept if the CA is requested by only one people.
