There is a better way than having to manually navigate to https://url , knowing what button to click in what browser, knowing where and how to save the "certificate" file and finally knowing the magic incantation for the keytool to install it locally.
Just do this:
- Save code below to InstallCert.java
- Open command line and execute:
javac InstallCert.java
- Run like:
java InstallCert <host>[:port] [passphrase] (port and passphrase are optional)
Here is the code for InstallCert, note the year in header, will need to modify some parts for "later" versions of java:
