[Solved]How can I import a CA cert into my system?

acgtyrant · 2013-07-10 03:28:54

I want to follew below to import CA.crt into archlinux:

sudo cp path/to/goagent/local/CA.crt /usr/share/ca-certificates/goagent.crt
sudo chmod a+r /usr/share/ca-certificates/goagent.crt
sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

But I find the command dpkg-reconfigure is a Debian command which can not use in Arch Linux, so how should I import it?

Thank you!

If you have dpkg installed, you should be asking for help on the Ubuntu or debian forums:

In arch linux you'll have to use update-ca-certificates (8).
Put your certificate in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates with a crt ending and then run it as root.

sudo cp path/to/goagent/local/CA.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/goagent.crt
sudo update-ca-certificates

I have used your advice and after this I have tried git clone and it worked. But I have a slightly doubt about this, after I have executed

sudo update-ca-certificates

I went to /etc/ca-certificates.conf and did not find the certificate. Where I can confirm that?

Just stumbled upon this threat while having a similar problem. It seems that the provided solutions is out of date as of December 2014:
