Resolved Browsers do not see SSL certificates

[zulicheg]

I am new to macOS. I can't figure out how to make sure that all browsers see my certificates.

There are several self-signed v3 certificates, I added them to the keychain. In Safari everything works without problems, but other browsers - Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Maxthon - do not see these certificates.

I don't understand what to do, on Windows all browsers see everything, but what about on macOS? Maybe I need to enable something somewhere?

I am not super knowledgeable on this, but I believe you need to add the SSL certificate to the "keychain access" app. This is in applications>utilities folder. This should make it cover any browsers you use.

I'm not so sure cross-platform browsers are all that bothered about integrating with the Keychain, you might have to import the certificates into each browser.

I don't think the other browsers use the keychain, they use their own internal stores AFAIK, so you need to add them there (Firefox - once accepted by Firefox, it won't bother you again), although Chromium based browsers seem to complain every time and don't offer the chance to mark a website as safe.

I found a solution for Chrome-based browsers, so that they can see the keys from the keychain, you need to run the following command in the terminal:

defaults write com.google.Chrome EnableCommonNameFallbackForLocalAnchors -bool true
