Environment

  • Operating system (including version): Fedora 37
  • mkcert version (from mkcert -version): 1.4.4
  • Server (where the certificate is loaded): N/A
  • Client (e.g. browser, CLI tool, or script): N/A

What you did

mkcert -install

What went wrong

The local CA is correctly installed in the system store, but it's not possible to install for the browser.

The local CA is now installed in the system trust store! ⚡️
Installing in Firefox and/or Chrome/Chromium failed. Please report the issue with details about your environment at https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/issues/new 👎
Note that if you never started Firefox and/or Chrome/Chromium, you need to do that at least once.

Some investigation

After digging a bit into the code and verifyng the ~/.pki/nssdb/cert9.db NSS db exists, I tried running

certutil -L -d sql:/home/mbolis/.pki/nssdb/cert9.db

and got an error

certutil: function failed: SEC_ERROR_BAD_DATABASE: security library: bad database.

At this point I tried

certutil -L -d /home/mbolis/.pki/nssdb

and indeed the result is positive. It actually looks like the "mkcert development CA" was in fact created.

Hoe this helps
