wget https

Hello,

can someone tell me where the certificate store on aix 6.1 is. If I want to use wget with a https site Iam getting an error that the issuer is untrusted. Thats right because its an self sign certificate.

If your computer is rejecting their certificate, you can just do wget --no-check-certificate to accept cheesy self-signed SSL certificates.

If they're rejecting your certificate, that's beyond my expertise.

It is rejecting their certificate, but is it possible wihout "--no-check-certificates" where is the trusted certificate store on AIX or wget

Try this. I can't find any local servers that have a self-signed certificate to try this on myself. Sorry.

Copy the signer's certificate from the box the box that signed the certificate to your AIX box, then use the "--ca-certifcate=<path to file>" argument to specifiy it. When wget sees it the server's certificate, it should verify it against the certificate you provided in that argument and it should work. Again, I can't find any place to test this so I'm not 100% sure it will work.
