Mageia forum

Hi,
I don't know if I'm asking a stupid question but I have to ask.
To connect to the wifi of my university I have to install/import a certificate.
My problem: The guide "how to install the certificate" is for Ubuntu 10.04 and those step aren't working for Mageia 1.
So can someone please tell me how do I import/install a new certificate??

Hi and welcome to the forum!

That's not a stupid question
I don't know much about certificates, but maybe we could adapt the Ubuntu guide for Mageia?
Can you post it somewhere? (here if it is short, on a pastebin if it is too long, or give us the URL if you have one).

Thanks for your quick response.
Sure I can post it.

Download the certificate:
wget http://www.tubit.tu-berlin.de/fileadmin ... tkette.pem

Create a subfolder in the certificate folder:
mkdir -p /usr/share/ca-certificates/tu-berlin.de

Move the certificate to the created folder:
mv TU-Berlin_Zertifikatkette.pem /usr/share/ca-certificates/tu-berlin.de/TU-Berlin_Zertifikatkette.pem

Add the root-certificates to the SSL-certificate-database:
echo tu-berlin.de/TU-Berlin_Zertifikatkette.pem >> /etc/ca-certificates.conf

Reload the certificate-database:
update-ca-certificates

And before I forget all steps shall be performed as root. I think I have to store the certificate somewhere in /etc/pki/tls/ but I neither know if that is correct nor what the command is to reload the database.

I just wanted to say that I have solved my problem by moving the certificate into /etc/pki/tls/private/ and writing the absolute path into the correct field of the network manager. There was no other command to update some database. Now that it works I'm really surprised how it easy was.

Glad you got it sorted.
