Ignore Untrusted Certificates
Configuration:
- iMacros 9.0.3
- Firefox 48.0
- Windows 10
Issue:
When using some proxies, I get a SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER error in Firefox on secure pages. How can I prevent this?
With Selenium, it seems fairly straightforward by setting "acceptInsecureCerts" capability: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/168 ... g-selenium
Is there something similar with iMacros? I have tried everything to disable the error from within Firefox to no avail.

I tested the add-on, but it didn't work for any of the options in https://badssl.com/
The add-on's page does say that the project was discontinued.
Any other options?

Re: Ignore Untrusted Certificates
I think not really without recompile the browser, make your own addon or start your browser with selenium or (proxy) tools like fiddler.natesreich wrote:Any other options?
I have tested Skip Cert Error with Pale Moon 27.6.2 but I think it's not for your case enough. Because it's more like add cert exception without user clicks in the current page.
Few ideas:This Firefox extension enables skipping the SSL/TLS certificate error page, for specific configurable conditions, like self-signed cert or unknown issuer, by adding a temporary exception.

Other addon is remember certificate except but I think it's not enough for your case.

(But not following up on their previous Threads is always a bit of a "Show-killer" for me to want to (try to) help Users (again)... => Maybe an "Idea" to finish those 3 Threads a bit "correctly"...?)
Interesting Qt anyway, I honestly don't know much about Certs myself, funny/strange we get several related/similar Threads on the Forum the last few weeks..., could I get some URL posted about some Site that will trigger such a Cert Pop-up (+ Proxy Info if needed) if I want to have a look...?
Based on the (2nd) Sol @OP linked to on SOF, I would already have a "Creative" Sol I think, by simply creating and maintaining your own Cert locally which probably is a simple '.TXT' File and that could be accessed and edited with some new Entry on the fly from the iMacros '.iim' Script..., I "suspect" after a Cert File has been added to the "Trusted" Entities/Authorities, that FF won't go checking its "Integrity" anymore, and you can probably "mess" with it, ah-ah...!, I use a similar Mechanism myself for Dynamic (Temp) DataSources and even auto-morphing ('.iim') Macros, with a Conditional Reload of the Site if needed, after the Cert File has been edited / new Exception added...
I had a look at 'about:config' (PM v26.3.3) and didn't see any direct/evident Solution indeed...

Re: Ignore Untrusted Certificates
Not longer. I mean in the old versions was it possible. But PM (v27.6.2) has a little more options than FF.chivracq wrote:I had a look at 'about:config' (PM v26.3.3) and didn't see any direct/evident Solution indeed...
Thanks! I hope iMacros for Firefox has good updates in the future.chivracq wrote:Hum, @thecoder2012, I'm "starting" to like you (a bit ), ah-ah...!

Re: Ignore Untrusted Certificates
I am sorry, but I actually didn't have a solution for the previous threads. I just gave up.chivracq wrote:Hum, wanted to post in the Thread, but hum-hum, @OP, you never followed up in any of your 3 previous Threads or finished any with a Sol to make them a bit useful for other Users, even if you now neatly mention your FCI, I only had to ask once, good...!
(But not following up on their previous Threads is always a bit of a "Show-killer" for me to want to (try to) help Users (again)... => Maybe an "Idea" to finish those 3 Threads a bit "correctly"...?)
Sure, try any of the examples here: https://badssl.com/chivracq wrote: Interesting Qt anyway, I honestly don't know much about Certs myself, funny/strange we get several related/similar Threads on the Forum the last few weeks..., could I get some URL posted about some Site that will trigger such a Cert Pop-up (+ Proxy Info if needed) if I want to have a look...?
Interesting approach. I imagine you would get !URLCURRENT and then override the certificate file.chivracq wrote: Based on the (2nd) Sol @OP linked to on SOF, I would already have a "Creative" Sol I think, by simply creating and maintaining your own Cert locally which probably is a simple '.TXT' File and that could be accessed and edited with some new Entry on the fly from the iMacros '.iim' Script..., I "suspect" after a Cert File has been added to the "Trusted" Entities/Authorities, that FF won't go checking its "Integrity" anymore, and you can probably "mess" with it, ah-ah...!, I use a similar Mechanism myself for Dynamic (Temp) DataSources and even auto-morphing ('.iim') Macros, with a Conditional Reload of the Site if needed, after the Cert File has been edited / new Exception added...
But, what if the proxy is loading secure elements from other domains inside the URL being accessed? In that case, this approach wouldn't work since the proxy would be triggering an error for all SSL elements.
I wonder if there's a way to achieve this with Greasemonkey?

Re: Ignore Untrusted Certificates
Possible but not with every proxy. Only proxies like fiddler and similar with decrypted https and new root cert in your browser. (=security risk!)natesreich wrote:But, what if the proxy is loading secure elements from other domains inside the URL being accessed?
Then has your proxy only https redirect support, nothing else. See https://www.fiddlerbook.com/fiddler/hel ... yption.aspnatesreich wrote:In that case, this approach wouldn't work since the proxy would be triggering an error for all SSL elements.
I think no. It's same to iMacros (v8.9.7) with Javascript. Low-level API in FF or complicated addon, maybe.natesreich wrote:I wonder if there's a way to achieve this with Greasemonkey?
Fastest way without enough knowledge (or time) with all domains is an local proxy like fiddler with activated https (cert) and imported (fiddler) root cert in your browser.
