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 - Mozilla builtin CA certificates
10 - brasil.gov.br certificate
11 - cacert.org certificate
14 /etc/ca-certificates.conf
16 # dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates
18 update-ca-certificates will update /etc/ssl/certs
20 generate ca-certificates.crt (single-file version)
22 /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt may be used by the web browsers
23 in Debian, such as w3m, when deciding what secure web sites to trust.
24 For w3m package, it has ssl_ca_path configuration in /etc/w3m/w3mconfig,
25 so it works without any configuration. You can specify
26 /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt for ssl_ca_file instead.
29 How certificate will be accepted in ca-certificates package
30 -----------------------------------------------------------
32 - submit *GPG signed* bug report to ca-certificate with severity normal.
33 the bug report should include
34 - description of the CA
35 - how to obtain CA cert pem or paste it in the bug report
36 - license of the CA certificate
37 - fingerprint and/or hash value of the cert
38 - get 2 or 3 recommendation ("seconded" mail) from other people to
39 the bug report, GPG signed.
40 I won't accept if the CA is requested by only one people.
