Using the CyberVillains CA manually

Using the CyberVillains CA manually

Did I mention that using the CyberVillains CA is inherently dangerous? Using it manually is more dangerous, because it introduces the risk that you'll forget to uninstall the CyberVillains CA when you're done using Selenium RC. You MUST manually uninstall the CyberVillains CA after you're finished using Selenium RC.

Windows/IE: Look for "cyberVillainsCA.cer" in the "server" folder in the selenium-remote-control zip, double-click on it, and press the "Install Certificate" button. Then click "Next" a few times, and finally "Finish" to install the CA certificate. To uninstall the CA certificate, use the "Internet Options" Control Panel, click on the "Content" tab, and click on the "Certificates" button. Finally, under the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" tab, scroll down to CyberVillains and click on the "Remove" button to remove the cert.

OS X/Safari: Look for "cyberVillainsCA.cer" in the "server" folder in the selenium-remote-control zip and double-click on it. You'll be prompted to select a keychain; select the "X509Anchors" keychain. You'll be required to enter your administrative password to install the certificate. To uninstall the CA certificate, start the "Keychain Access" program, in "/Applications/Utilities". Click on "Show Keychains" and select the X509Anchors keychain. If that keychain isn't available, select "Add Keychain" from the File menu, then navigate to /System/Library/Keychains and open the "X509Anchors" file in that directory. Once you've opened the X509Anchors keychain, you should be able to scroll down to the CyberVillains CA and delete it using the Delete button.

Linux/Konqueror: In the Settings menu, choose "Configure Konqueror." Select the "Crypto" icon on the left-hand navigation bar, then select the "SSL Signers" tab by clicking on the scroll-right arrow in the upper-right corner of the window. Click on the Import button to import a certificate. Look for "cyberVillainsCA.cer" in the "server" folder in the selenium-remote-control zip and double-click on it to import the certificate. To uninstall the certificate, just click on "CyberVillains" in the "SSL Signers" tab and click on the "Remove" button.
