Perhaps I'm being dumb - but they just don't seem to work for me on my Nexus!
I want to access a website that's secured by https - even though it doesn't use a certificate signed by the major commercial CAs. My website in question has a (valid) certificate that is signed by a self-signed domain-root certificate. To use this seamlessly from a standard PC, I need to tell the browser to trust the root certificate - then it is as if the site had a commercially signed certificate...
With my Nexus, however... everything seems uphill on this front. I can view the HTML pages - with a warning - but I can't download files from it into external viewers, for example, without getting security exceptions and a refusal to proceed. I've tried downloading the root certificate (exported through Firefox on a PC as a .crt file) through the settings... but - even having done this - my nexus still behaves as if I've not told it to trust the private root CA certificate. When I try to install the specific certificate for the web site, it simply doesn't appear among the user certs at all.. it looks as if something fails silently.
Has anyone successfully configured their nexus to use websites secured by their own SSL certificates? If so, what hoop haven't I jumped through?
