Macos – Trust self signed Cert in Chrome macOS 10.13

certificategoogle-chromemacosssl

I'm trying to always trust a self signed certificate but I'm having issues.

For one, when I try to drag the certificate to a folder or desktop, it just doesn't do anything. I can do the same from safari to save the certificate, but not chrome.

And when I dragged that certificate to keychain access, added it, and trusted it, it worked in safari after that. But still not chrome.

How can I get a cert from chrome and have it always be trusted on macOS 10.13?

From your description, it seems to me that you have installed the certificate as a simple X.509 certificate, but have not set it to be trusted for SSL.

To do that, from the keychain, reopen the certificate, expand the Trust section, and change the SSL setting to "Always Trust"

Close the dialog to save the changes (you’ll be prompted for your password again). If you refresh the browser window you should see the happy green lock:

If you don’t see the green lock, just restart Chrome or type chrome://restart into the address bar.
