For macOS, go to Keychain Access +and add the certificate under **login**. + +**NOTE**: The CA should not be installed in any browser profile used +outside of tests, since it may be used to generate fake +certificates. For browsers that use the OS certificate store, tests +should therefore not be run manually outside a dedicated OS instance +(e.g. a VM). To avoid this problem when running tests in Chrome or +Firefox, use `wpt run`, which disables certificate checks and therefore +doesn't require the root CA to be trusted. + +## Regenerating certificates + +The easiest way to regenerate the pregenerated certificates is to the +the command + +``` +wpt regen-certs +``` + +By default this will not generate new certificates unless the existing +ones are about to expire. In cases where the certificates need to be +updated anyway (e.g. because the server configuration changed), this +can be overridden with `--force`. + +Generating the certificates requires OpenSSL to be installed. + +### Implementation Details + +If you wish to manually generate new certificates for any reason, it's +possible to use OpenSSL when starting the server, or starting a test +run, by providing the `--ssl-type=openssl` argument to the `wpt serve` +or `wpt run` commands. + +If you installed OpenSSL in such a way that running `openssl` at a +command line doesn't work, you also need to adjust the path to the +OpenSSL binary. This can be done by adding a section to `config.json` +like: + +``` +"ssl": {"openssl": {"binary": "/path/to/openssl"}} +``` + +### Windows-specific Instructions + +For Windows users, the easiest approach is likely to be using +[WSL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/) and generate +certificates in a Linux environment. However it is possible to install +OpenSSL and generate the certificates without using WSL. + +[Shining Light](https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html) +provide a convenient installer that is known to work, but requires a +little extra setup: + +Run the installer for Win32_OpenSSL_v1.1.0b (30MB). During installation, +change the default location for where to Copy OpenSSL Dlls from the +System directory to the /bin directory. + +After installation, ensure that the path to OpenSSL (typically, +this will be `C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin`) is in your `%Path%` +[Environment Variable](http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm). +If you forget to do this part, you will most likely see a 'File Not Found' +error when you start wptserve. + +Finally, set the path value in the server configuration file to the +default OpenSSL configuration file location. To do this, create a file +called `config.json`. Then add the OpenSSL configuration below, +ensuring that the key `ssl/openssl/base_conf_path` has a value that is +the path to the OpenSSL config file (typically this will be +`C:\\OpenSSL-Win32\\bin\\openssl.cfg`): + +``` +{ + "ssl": { + "type": "openssl", + "encrypt_after_connect": false, + "openssl": { + "openssl_binary": "openssl", + "base_path: "_certs", + "force_regenerate": false, + "base_conf_path": "C:\\OpenSSL-Win32\\bin\\openssl.cfg" + }, + }, +} +``` |
